Generally, active investing involves buying and selling individual REITs in order to invest in the best opportunities for superior returns.

Passive investing involves buying an index fund or ETF that holds all the REITs available in a benchmark and then holding this fund for a long time with minimal trading.

If you are investing in REITs through a brokerage and hold your investments in your own CDP account, that would be active investing.

However, if you are purchasing a REIT ETF or investing in REIT portfolios, that would be passive investing.

Active, since you pick single reits

with passive REIT-ETFs it would be passive
