Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. (EPRT)

Net lease REITs like Realty Income, NNN, Agree Realty, and W. P. Carey are rebounding as falling treasury yields drive capital back to stable, long-duration assets. The sector's rally is fueled by a flight to safety amid turmoil in private credit and software, with REITs outperforming equity indices year-to-date. With weighted average lease terms of 10+ years, net lease REITs act as long-duration credit portfolios, highly sensitive to treasury yield movements.

Agree Realty and Essential Properties Realty Trust are very popular net lease REITs. They have both massively outperformed their larger peer, Realty Income. But which is the best to own going forward? I think that it is Agree Realty.

Not all REIT dividends are sustainable. Overleverage, troubled assets, and high payout ratios are clear red flags. I highlight 3 popular REITs at high risk of cutting their dividend.

Many REITs pay dividends on a monthly basis. Some offer up to 8% dividend yields. These are my favorite monthly-paying REITs.

I increased my forward projected dividend income by $86.77 (1.4%) in December, reaching $6,289.66. My portfolio strategy blends high-growth names like Broadcom (AVGO), Microsoft, and Visa with high-yielders such as SPYI and MPLX. Dividend reinvestments and increases, especially from AVGO and EPRT, drove nearly 83% of new forward income this month.

Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. remains a Buy, offering double-digit total return potential driven by raised 2026 AFFO guidance and robust fundamentals. EPRT's Q3 results showed strong AFFO and FFO growth, 99.8% occupancy, and record $370M investment activity at attractive spreads. The REIT's low-leveraged balance sheet, 3% dividend raise, and 63% AFFO payout ratio provide flexibility and dividend safety.
