First Realty Income tried to look more like W.P. Carey. Now W.P. Carey is trying to look more like Realty Income. There's no way to dispute the dominance of Realty Income (O 1.53%) as a net lease real estate investment trust (REIT). It is roughly four times larger than its next closet rival, W.P. Carey (WPC -1.39%). The interplay between these two REITs, however, is kind of interesting. Right now, W.P. Carey is trying to look more like its larger competitor, but that wasn't always the case.

There's more to this stock than just its high payout. Finding a quality dividend stock can be hard these days. Economic conditions aren't ideal and if you're not careful, relying on a risky dividend with a high yield can spell disaster for your recurring income if rates are cut unexpectedly.

Realty Income is the 800-pound gorilla in the net lease REIT space. Is it too expensive to buy? Maybe not when you consider other options. Realty Income (O -0.05%) is a well-known net lease real estate investment trust (REIT). In fact, it is roughly four times larger than its closest competitor. That said, it has one of the highest yields in the net lease niche at roughly 5%. Is it still worth buying after a sizable rally? It just might be when you compare it to some of its most popular net lease peers. A q ...

Wavebreakmedia/iStock via Getty Images I first heard about Realty Income (NYSE:O) in the 2000s when I was a commercial real estate developer. At the time, I was building stores for companies like Blockbuster Video and Econo Lube n Tune. As a merchant developer, I was always looking for someone to buy my properties, and Realty Income was a buyer of choice.
