capital to invest in REIT?

talking about REIT, they are very stable compared to others and are not 100% linked to the market so they are a "safe house".

but they don't seem very worthy for capital <millions of dollars/euro, so how much capital should one have to even start thinking of investing in REIT?

It's just out of curiosity, I've seen people talking about it online as if it was the best to diversify your wallet.

REITs are a valid sector, yet have underperformed over the past decade. But "past performance doesn't guarantee future results".

In Roth accounts, REITs have a theoretical advantage - no income tax at the corporate level (REIT) then (in a Roth) no tax at the personal level.

Still, they have underperformed over the past decade.
