Way too much risk and exposure? Ok, borrow $15,000 at 3%. Put $5,000 into a TFSA into REITs which return 10% annually (including return of capital).

Sure we ar eon the brink of a recovery, but real estate is not going to recover to its previous growth rate for a long time, if ever. The whole market still has way too much inventory. I think 10% for this coming year would be a pipe dream.
Check out the DJ REIT index for the past 12 months - negative 43% http://www.google.ca/finance?q=REIT
Things look pretty much the same for any REIT I look at...
