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?

December 2022 Dividend Update

 December 2022 Dividend Update

    As we come to the close of 2022, it is time to look forward and start to plan for next year.  Dividend Pursuit household have a lot of plans to accomplish, including welcoming Jr #2, possible travels to Portugal and Dominica Republic or Mexico for vacation next year.  We also have a lot going on on projects with our rental portfolios.  But first let's close 2022 by review December 2022, dividend income collected this month.

Without further ado we close 2022 with a bang for sure, for the first time we cross the four (4) digit mark in dividend collected in our total accounts.  In December 2022, we collected $1054.43 Wow just incredible.  The power of compounding is truly amazing with addition of extra capital spend in different stocks we hold. 

 In our taxable accounts we collected a $971.25, in dividend passively and in our taxable advantage accounts we collected a total of $137.18, in dividend. 

For next year we will stock automatic investing and focus on collecting the dividend for different adventure we are planning, we are taking a sabbatical for saying in pursuing early retirement to spent time with the family, we are still in our early 40's and we will have time to achieve that within the next five (5) years, but we will not have the time with our kids now.  It is best to focus on family and enjoy the ride now instead of waiting until we reach Financial Independence (FI) to do that. 

Our rental part of our portfolio we did not do so well. One building had a sewage backup so far our expenses to fix, repair and cleanup are around $12000.00.  Ouch!!!  we also have a unit empty on another building that has left us with a negative cash flow for the month in the tunes of $1500.00. 

Next month I ill be focusing on completing renovate and clean up the unit and getting it ready for rent in February 2022.

How did you do last month?  Did you do well with your dividend income?

Thank you for visiting, back next year.

 November 2022 Dividend Updates

Where have the time gone?   It has been busy month so far, with many delayed property improvements taken place and we recently had a tenant moved out and are in the process of turning the property before we rent it out again.  The last tenant was a great tenant, so we hoping to find a new great tenant for the property.   I am recovering from Pneumonia so this has added additional stress to getting things completed on time.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to do so.  We also had an emergency in another property with main sewage line backing up into the basement, this will be a costly repair and fix.  

But lets focus on the dividend collected in the month of November 2022, instead and without further ado here is what we collected last month.

We collected a total of $840.38, in dividend last month.  This is a record month for us 😀.

Wow, amazing month for sure, cannot wait to see what December brings next month, can we surpass November number?  We will have to wait and see what December brings as a gift.

Our rental also Provides $1200 in passive income last month, making it a total of $2040.28, in passive income last month.  Truly amazing.  Next month won't be as good in our Rental portfolio unfortunately.
