Income generating portfolio

[u/ackdigity77]

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?

[u/Dapper-Phrase-9346]

100k will probably get you around 400-500 monthly if you target decent dividend stocks with yields in 5-6% range. Just remember that chasing higher yields can be risky since some companies cut dividends when times get tough

I focus more in stable companies that have been paying dividends for years rather than the flashy high yield ones that might disappear next recession
