Essential Properties Realty Trust offers a compelling blend of diversification, income, safety, and growth, with its largest tenant at just 3.1% of base rent. Diversification reduces tenant-specific risk, but quality of tenants, lease coverage, and disciplined capital allocation are critical for durable, repeatable AFFO-per-share growth. Concentrated REITs like PSTL or GLPI may deliver higher yields and faster growth but carry materially higher risk premiums due to tenant or sector concentration.
