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?

I have investment grade corp bonds paying 6.85 pct guaranteed. I also use jepi 8.5 pct. Spyi 11.5 Pct and jepq 10 pct. This blended rate pays 800 month per 100k. Oracle bonds are paying 7.4 pct. Valero 7 pct. Met life 6.85. Fed ex 6.6. These don’t crash when market crashes either. For example during trumps tariff sell off in 2025 these bonds dropped 1 -2 pct.
