Nothing But Net (Lease REITs)
Net Lease REITs create value by investing at returns above their cost of capital; WACC is a key metric for quality assessment.

High-yield or cheap REITs often have elevated payout ratios and weaker balance sheets, signaling higher risk and possible dividend instability.

Diversification is key in REIT investing, mirroring my roulette strategy—spread bets across sectors for optimal risk-adjusted returns.
