The Fantastic 4: My Favorite REITs For Growth And Income

Backed by strong fundamentals and tailwinds, they're my go-to picks for long-term returns in a volatile market.

Certainly Uncertain
US equity markets posted modest gains this week - snapping a four-week losing streak - as investors parsed commentary and updated forecasts from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. Ahead of the looming April 2nd unveiling of reciprocal tariffs, investors were relieved by FOMC projections showing that 11-of-19 policy markets still expect at least two rate cuts this year. Disappointing retail sales data indicated that economic uncertainty is beginning to affect real-world consumer behavior. Housing market data was relatively solid, however, sparking an upward revision to the GDPNow forecast.

Essential Properties: I'm Not Paying Up Despite A Strong Portfolio Of Assets
Essential Properties boasts high occupancy rates, low leverage, and a stable tenant base, but its 3.5% dividend yield and limited rent growth are concerns. The company's recent strategic dispositions and acquisitions have improved portfolio quality, but same-store rent growth remains sluggish at 1.4%. Valuation at 16.0x FFO and modest 2%-4% annual capital appreciation potential make the stock less attractive for strong returns.
