There is a good article about investing in REITs. There is the link:

What should you take note of when investing in REITs?
1. Composition of REIT assets - Retail Malls, Hotels, Industrial, Residential, Logistic etc.
2. Geographic diversification and currency risk- Political, Natural disasters etc.
3. Growth of Dividend Per Unit (DPU) - How well they manage 4. Spread over 10 year Government Bond yield - Risk vs Yield comparison
5. Gearing -Leverage - ability to face financial crisis

This is one way to invest for income. Depending on your risk adversity, you can make your choices.
