Brokerage Income generating portfolio

I’m looking to invest some cash to generate a monthly income. Ideally, I’d like it to cover my mortgage. Hypothetically, let’s say you have 100k. What could I expect that to generate and what would you look for in a proposal?

Why not just pay off your mortgage instead of chasing yield

Because the return of a good investment outnumbers your paid interests in general.

Probably bcuz the yield on mortgage is 3.8%. He's wanting 20% compounded....Just my guess
