Centro was a complete dodge when things went to mush. The good ones have weathered the storm without too much damage but the good buying opportunities at low entry points and high yields have probably already evaporated as investors appetite for risk increases.
Not truly CIP investment but the easiest way to get into it (and catch some fleas too).

Something worth considering if you want to dip you toe into the market without all of the hassles. Just understand what you are buying.
