In response to message posted by bob90245:Bob, the Vanguard REIT index, VGSIX, simply followed the REITs in 98 and 99 as investors abandoned REITs and chased technology. This created a great buying opportunity in REITS in October, November, and December of 1999.
Why don't you do a search at www.morningstar.com
They have a good Fund Selector Tool that non-premium-members can use. Choose Fund Selector. Then, under Fund Group, choose domestic Stock. Then under Morningstar category, choose Real Estate. Then under the other areas, tailor the search to your specifications.
Morningstar will show 74 no-load real estate mutual funds and a number of load funds unless your other choices reduce the number.
If you find a couple of funds you like, let us know. I am a premium Morningstar member, and I can look at the funds with you, if you like. As a premium member, I can get more detail about the funds.
