re: REITs as inflation hedge/bond alternative?

I’ve got a couple of REIT ETFs.
VNQ.
I also have some Vanguard Real Estate Mutual Fund.
I’ve also established a position in preferred stocks with PFF and another ETF that the symbol is PGX.
CDs are paying nothing.
I manage my mom’s account so she needs conservation of principal, but I’ve dabbled in these REITs and preferred for her account as well. She still is over 60% equities in her late 70s.
My grandfather just rolled CDs at 10% for his retirement.
Now you can’t get 1% for a one year CD unless you get a special.

VNQ is still at a good price point as well in the low 80s. I own quite a bit of VNQ and unfortunately quite a bit of EPR which is at about half of its value from last year and isn’t even paying the monthly dividend like they used to. EPR could end up being a great buy if they can survive the COVID shutdowns but since they hold entertainment and theatre properties they’re definitely high risk.
