Thinking outside the box involves looking at problems from a different perspective, such as using virtual reality to stimulate creativity. Realty Income has grown into a $73 billion REIT by thinking outside the box and expanding into various property sectors. Evaluating cost of capital is crucial for REITs to create value, with lower costs allowing for higher quality investments.

Essential Properties Realty Trust is a David among Goliaths in the REIT space, which means that it can sometimes fly under the radar of investors. The triple net lease REIT's business model combines lease escalators with a favorable geographical and industrial breakdown. EPRT's portfolio of mostly non-investment grade tenants is countered by master leases and an investment-grade balance sheet itself.

Essential Properties Realty Trust continues to outperform peers due to lower-rated (non-investment grade) tenants, longer leases, and their conservative payout ratio. EPRT's strong fundamentals, including a lower leveraged balance sheet at just 3.6x, support future growth efforts. Despite being a potential M&A target, EPRT's performance, structure, and growth potential make it a buy recommendation.
