Between Safety And Upside: Why VICI Properties Still Earns A Place In Income Portfolios

  • VICI offers bond-like stability, inflation-protected rent escalations, and high-quality tenants, making it attractive for conservative, income-oriented investors despite modest yields. Triple net leases, ultra-long lease terms, and 100% occupancy provide predictable, growing cash flows in a segment with high barriers to entry. Risks include tenant concentration (MGM/Caesars ~75% of rent) and front-loaded debt maturities, but conservative payout ratios and liquidity mitigate these concerns.
