January 2023 Dividend Income

 JANUARY's 2023 DIVIDEND INCOME

January 2023, start the year with the market on the upswing rally.  Hopefully this is a sign of a better year versus 2022.  Our net worth also well up in January, which is a good thing mostly driven by the market.  Our Rental portfolio value stayed steady and its beginning to rebound towards the all time high achieve in early 2022.  We also welcome Jr. Dividend Pursuit #2, so sleep has been scarce so far this year, but we look forward to things getting better soon.  At least I am on paternity leave and do not have to drive two hours each way in Boston traffic for now.

Our theme for this year will be: 

1. Capital improvements in our rental property
2. increase our reserves and emergency funds
3. Travel internationally at least once
4. invest in target stocks in our taxable accounts and focus on index funds in our tax advantage accounts

Now without further ado let us review our January 2023 Dividend income.  For January 2023, we collected a total of $783.73, in passive dividends wow a new record for January for us.  

Just amazing the power of compounding has on the market and regularly invest in the market.  We tend to tune off the market daily gyrations and what Mr. Market does on a daily basis.  Instead we focus on our long term plan and regularly invest when capital are available.  

On our taxable account we collected a total of $721.70 in dividend and on our Tax advantage accounts we collected $62.03.

We continue to regularly invest and buy value stocks with the hope to hold them for long term.  At the same time we are also investing in our rental properties and continue to make capital improvements towards building long term wealth that will be passed on through our generation.

On our rental property Property #1, we finally found a new renter and they will be moving in February 2023.  We had cash flow of $165.00

Property #2 is a different story we had some unexpected expenses that total negative cash flow $17786.00, ouch!  

We expected more capital expenditure this year here in this property.  Property #1 will also need new windows in 2 out of 4 units are we are collecting quotes to make this improvements that will hopefully will keep the tenants here long term.

Hope you had a good month!  How did toy do last month?

October 2022 Dividend Income

October 2022 Dividend Update

    October has come and gone, the days seems to be going os quickly and running on the hamster wheel surely contributes to that.  That is my primary motivation to get out of the rat race and focus on my family and wellbeing enjoy life.  To that end I buy high quality dividend paying stocks and invest in real estate to build passive income to cover my expenses so one day I can run away from the rat race and live the life in my own terms.

So let us review last month dividend accumulate passively and see where we are currently in time to achieve Financial Independence (FI).  I don't really consider there Retirement Early (RE) part of FIRE as a goal.  I envision my self working either on my property or some other field which can allow time for work life balance.

Without further ado here is what we collected last month. A total of $522.49 in passive dividend collected for the month.  It is breakdown between taxable accounts and tax advantage accounts.

On the Taxable accounts we collected $461.20 in dividend income and on our tax advantage accounts we collected $61.29.  This is because most of our retirement account is invested in the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts as a federal employee I will also collect a modest pension which most likely will de defer until later. 

On our Real estate venture we have decided to collect from property #1 $695.00 and from property #2 we collect $542 which is a total of $1237 in monthly passive income, this will total $1759.49 in passive income for the month. 

the dividend is being re-invested monthly, although I stop automatic reinvestment and focus on buying beaten down stocks I hold.  With the market down as of late I may sell some for tax harvesting to save on tax before year end.

How did you do last month?

Did you had a good month last month?

DECEMBER 2021 DIVIDEND UPDATE

December 2021 Dividend Update

 

    With 2021 year closed in the books and a new year to look forward to and plan my exit strategy.  It is time to start review my progress from last month and start planning for 2022 investment strategy.

 

Without further ado let’s review how last month dividend went.  It was definitely a record setting month for Dividend Pursuit for sure.  We collected a total of $707.03 in passive Dividend between all our accounts.

Now let’s review what we collected between our accounts.  We collected a total of $126.63 in our Taxable accounts and $580.40 in our non-taxable accounts.

 

Year-to-date with collected a total of $5208.04 in dividend during the 2021 calendar year, simply amazing see the dividend hitting our accounts month after month. All we had to do is simply invest in these amazing company who share a slice of their pie with us humble patrons.

 

We received special dividend from few of our holdings, the biggest one being BKE $115.92 and they also pay dividend during the month $7.18. 

 

Another special dividend was received from EOG $39.78 and I am looking forward to received their regular dividend next month after they raised dividend by 81.8% from $0.41 dividend to $0.75 the Ex-Div on EOG will be January 13, 2022.

 

We also received a special dividend from Potlatch (PCH) $8.88 and MAIN also pay a special dividend along with regular payment of $5.63 and $11.76 respectively.

 

Another Special dividend was received from AFG $9.32- seems like I received a dividend from AFG 3 month in a roll 😊.

 

Those were few highlights that pushed our dividend to a record level last month.  Looking forward to what 2022 will bring.

                ·         I do plan to invest less in our non-taxable accounts and focus on building our taxable                  accounts as my Tax is almost reach the next brackets with the passive income                             received from real estate.

·         We also plan to save six (6) months reserved for each property next year.

        ·         Lastly, we will be starting a new fund to purchase the next real estate property.

 

How did you do last month?

Did you have a great month as well?
