as daverobev says, I wouldn't worry too much about all of that. What you really want is a low-cost ETF or fund that closely follows the underlying index. Dividends will apply equally to all ETFs or funds that follow the same index (more or less). Of course, if you exploit the home bias and want to invest in the European property market then the performance will indeed be different from the US market, for example. All a matter of choice :).
I'm not big on property or dividends in general and strongly believe in just having a portion of your money in equities, equally spread over the world according to their share in the world cap, and the other portion in high-interest investment grade bonds. The bonds are just there to balance out the ride, whereas the stocks are the money cows (or so we hope). What asset allocation you choose is entirely up to your own level of risk tolerance and your investment horizon. Everything else such as commodities and property is always hailed in the best of times, but never performs as expected in the worst of times. I have heard too many claims of how gold and property will safeguard you from a crash or will deliver stellar performance. The truth is, some gold I bought just before 2008 is only worth 40% of what it was back then and I just bought a house in the UK where prices are still 50% lower in some areas than they were before 2008.
TL;DR: choose the index you want to follow for property exposure, then just select an ETF or fund to match. Property markets in Europe are, of course, an entirely different animal than in the US. Don't overdo property in your portfolio. You might already have exposure through your own house, and it is hardly the safe haven or cash generator that some blogs proclaim.
