April 2018 dividend update

April dividend update

Another month has come and gone. End of each month is the favorite time for all investors. This allows time to reflect, plan and ponder on what action to take next. As an investor there are many opportunities, but there are not many passive income opportunities except for dividend paying stocks and somewhat real estate in a form of rental properties. These are now my two focus as I built my passive income fund.

So here is what I collect last month. First let’s take a look at the dividend side.
stocks div amount
MAIN 2.9s1
VTR 4.01
LTC         2.53
STAG 4.19
PBA 0.44
O         1.28
EPR         1.31
WPC 7.28
BNS 2.6
Total $26.55

This is almost 50% increase from last month. Let’s take a look at real estate passive income. After all expenses are paid including mortage utilities and quarter water bill, I am left with a $68.00 of rental profits. I call it profits as this is not passive at the moment. I am managing my own rental units at this time. However I envision hiring a property manager down the line when I reach my financial freedom.

In the last two years I have been using Personal Capital to manage my finance and do some financial planning.
How did you do last month?

Recent purchase II April 2018

Recent purchase II

Almost closing on another month and it was time to add capital to my dividend pursuit goal. Many options to deploy capital at on REIT sector and utilities with recent downtrend on those sector. However I kept to my current holdings and add more shares to what I already own now that they are down.

So this is what I purchase wi5 my second purchase this month:

April 24, 2018
OHI 5.737 shares @ $25.46 + $3.95 Commission = $150.00
STAG 6.109 shares @ $23.94 + $3.95 Commission = $150.00

This was a chance to lower my cost average down and add to current holdings. All in all a good starting point my total shares on STAG is now 41 shares and 24 shares of OHI.

Recent Purchase April 2018

Half way through the month of April, I made my first purchase and it is a no secret that I have being concentrating on REITs as it’s being langering behind as of recent market upswing. There are many bargains on the sector as a whole, but I feel the need to add to my current positions. My motto is if I like it when it was at 5% higher I should definitely like it now at 5% discount to value.

So here is what I purchase in April so far:

April 17, 2018
LTC 2.58 shares @ $37.19 +$3.95 commission = $100.00

I have being a long time fan of LTC and this added an opportunity to add shares at a discount from my initial purchase.

What do you think of recent purchase?  What are you buying recently?

Watch List for April 2018

New Month and time to plan ahead where to deploy fresh capital. It has being said that fresh new capital, dividend re-investing and dividend increases add up to a nice juicy passive income. It is with that mind set that I plan ahead where there is value for me on this journey to early retirement.

There are few names on my watch list for April here are some names:

Health care: ABT, JNJ, ABBV, PFE and GSK
Banking: BNS, COF, RY and CFG
OIL: BP, XOM and COP
Others I am thinking about are DIS, SO, EPR, EVT, GE, IBM, IP, K, KHC, LB LTC, MAIN, O, OHI, STAG, PAYX, PG, KMB, QCOM, SBUX, STWD and TUP

Above is only my wish list long term. However, I may only make one or two purchases this month. Which will keep the concept of buy at least one stock a month.

Passive income March 2018

Passive income March 2018

New month and its my favorite time of the year, time to collect passive income. That is correct I will be moving from dividend income to report my passive income. The change is mostly due to rental income cash flow generate every month. This will be more in-line with my current reality. Dividend income is surely great and its passive, rental cash flow is not as passive as I am currently managing the property myself. I wish is the hire a property management company down the line.

So let’s recap last month passive income:

March 2018

stocks div amount

MAIN 2.32

QCOM 1.71

LTC          2.03

STAG 3.95

PBA 0.44

O         1.27

DLR 2.2

Total $13.92

This is passive income the rental income to date is $555.00 for a total of $568.92

All I did is have the fortitude to invest and be an investor. Albeit in real estate and dividend paying stocks.

This is real progress. Seeing the passive income building up is a great feeling.

How did you do last month?

Recent Purchase III March 2018

Recent Purchase III

As we close on another month it was time to add to my investement and deploy fresh capital to work for me. Last weeks vacation to Dominican Replublic has instill in me the desire to achieve early retirement sooner rather than later, its with that mind set that I deploy fresh new capital to work as hard as I do.

As we all know timing the market is never a good combination. With current market conditions and daily gyrations and swings on the market, I firmly believe one needs to constantly make purchases and not try to time the market. As long term investor can agree the over long haul the market returns are higher versus trying to time when to get in and out. Plus the dividend compounding and regular dividend increases greatly increases an investors return.

Without any further ado here is what I purchase this week:

March 27, 2018
EPR 3.63 shares @ $53.96 +$3.95 = $200.00
WPC 4.80 shares @ $61.64 + $3.95 = $300.00
VTR 5.07 shares @ $48.46 + $3.95 = $250.00
BNS 4.83 shares @ $61.19 + $3.95 = $300.00

I continue to add to WP Carey and three (3) others new holdings that I will continue to add shares to long term. They will be the cornerstone of my early retirement fund.

Recent Purchase II March 2018

Recent purchase II March 2018

Another week past bye, so it was time to deploy more dollars to work for me. I consider them as an employee who works hard for their boss. This allows the boss more time to relax and spend with family. Which was the case, me and Mrs. Dividend pursuit spend last week in the beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We enjoy the sun versus the cold weather of northeast. We love Boston, however the bitter winter sometimes get to you and one desperately needs time to unwind and take on the sun and enjoy the beach. The beach was not particular beautiful this time around, we were told the tropical storms cause the seaweeds to be closer to shore. However the heat and the sun overshadow much of that. The food was also great. I will get into much more detail about our vacation down the line

As this post is about my recent purchase, so here it is.

March 20, 2018
STAG 1.93 shares @ $23.86 + $3.95 = $50
WPC 2.36 shares @ $61.66 + $3.95 = $150
