That's a good idea, real estate investment funds accepting investment from retail investors don't really exist in my country. There are real estate investment companies which I can buy shares in. I am afraid of buying stocks, but I may consider that.

Principally speaking you are right to think that real estate investment funds should bring on par profit with real estate increases but during times of very high inflation as in Turkey, you lose some because funds don't 100% invest in their base asset, a significant part (around usually 20%) stays liquid. From that 20% you lose the ability to cope up with inflation, as the official interest rates are negative. (In Turkey's case above -70% a year).
