Five net lease REITs—Realty Income, Agree Realty, NNN REIT, W. P. Carey, and Essential Properties—stand out for their strong balance sheets, high-quality tenants, and durable dividends. These REITs benefit from long-term leases that shift property expenses to tenants, reducing cash flow volatility and providing bond-like income with yields around 7%. Each has unique strengths: Realty Income offers monthly dividends and global scale; Agree Realty focuses on investment-grade retail tenants; NNN REIT boasts the longest streak of dividend increases; W. P. Carey has CPI-linked rent growth with an industrial focus; and Essential Properties features low leverage and high coverage. Their high occupancy rates near 99% and conservative payout ratios make them attractive for retirement income investors seeking stability beyond yield alone.
