For me, real estate investing would take a lot of effort, especially that I am not known for being very 'handy' around the house.

Hi, Jack,

Like you I'm repair-skill challenged. <g>. So for me the best way to do real estate without taking the physical properties have been REITs. EOP and EQR are among the bigger players in Office and Residential properties, respectively. Dividend yields are 7.16% and 5.1% respectively. Not in the stratopshere, maybe, but certainly repectible compared to bank CD's right now. There are others, of course, but I find AIMing these guys to be a lot less hassle with a decent dividend to keep it going along in the meantime.

Best,
