Back in 2020 the Reit market basically crashed along with everything else. This was literally the best opportunity ever because the fed went into QE and lowered rates to basically zero. At the time there were plenty of Reits providing over 5% in dividends. REITS were clearly the stable play because they had steady cash flows and strong balance sheets. Now REITS are in hot water again because the broad market is selling off, there are fears of a recession, and interest rates are going up meaning people can find a safer return elsewhere. It's in this type of environment that you will want to purchase reits again at the bottom to lock in a solid dividend return. When the fed overtightens and decides to go back into QE, REITS will look very attractive again.
