Real estate never was passive income, Dividends will always be the true passive income

[@ToTheNines87368]

Well, yeah except maybe the twice a year you should spend 30 mins checking up on the health of your companies. 😂

[@misterbeach8826]

What a naive comment. Real estate is about turning monthly expenses into wealth and property, which you should do as early as possible. If you pay rent and do dividends, it is better than nothing but inefficient. Real estate can return an interest if you have tenants, people who rent your real estate. You can even own a portion of real estate, which can feel like company dividends at times. Dividends are about investing in company shares and receiving an interest on your investment from that company, plus price appreciation of your company shares in time. Bonds are like dividends but they usually do not move so fast in price. But you also receive an interest on your investment called coupon rate. What makes bonds special is that they, at times, move differently to the stock market, which a skilled investor may use to his advantage. For instance, the Ukraine 2035 gov bond trails at a 7.235 % coupon rate (dividend), crashed from $102 (for $100, meaning you paid $102 for $100 bonds) in Dec 2021 to $20 (a hefty -80 % crash) which recovered eventually to today $26.83. So, you can make heavy profits or losses with bonds, plus an interest rate. The Ukrainian real bond yield (sort of dividend yield) is at 33.35 % annually, but the reason for it and for the crash is, much like corporate dividends, that the Ukrainian gov may default on it or postpone payments because of war. (Edit: Fortune reported yesterday, "Ukraine holds secret talks with bondholders as $20 billion debt deadline looms", preventing a Ukrainian default.) Company dividends became popular in the 2010s and were quite unpopular in the 2000s. The reason was two stock market crashes in the 2000s that wiped out all dividend gains. Bonds were more popular in the 2000s than they are today, not only because of the higher interest rates (before 2007). Interest rates reached 13 % in 1974 and 20 % in 1980/81. So you can imagine that bond investment was very popular during that time, and certainly more popular than dividends, in the 1970s because the stock market crashed -70 % in the 1970s, if I recall correctly, for years.

How is real estate not passive income if you own a house that you rent out?

[@loganbrock3942]

@@konvaljen2its only passive if u have a manager other than that you have to deal with the maintenance and source all of that you have to make sure your tenant is ok and happy, periodic inspections depending on what real estate properties you have and you have to stay current on your laws etc as they frequently change, plus legal battle for those tenants that dont respect your property vs do research on a reit drop money in and let it do the rest check every so often quartely is what i do to verify the health of the company etc and thats it, no legal problems no worry about clients

[@CatGamer-wc2ij]

@@konvaljen2 Well, you have to pay off the investment, then it becomes one. Except it is not. You have to hire people to take care of it, rent it out, maintenance. It is far less active than a job, but not passive.

I’m just starting out as a dividend investor. My short term plan is to target high yielding dividend stocks to reinvest those dividends into higher growth dividend stocks eventually. I only have about $8,000 which I have purchased mostly high yield stocks some growth ones also. I plan on putting a lot of disposable income into more growth stocks going forward.

[@Clasam09]

Thx for the quickstart guide! If you had far less to invest, and far less to contribute monthly/yearly, what is the top criteria you would use to pick stocks? Higher FCF ratio? Yield? CAGR? Thanks again!

[@devinstucky6948]

Great video. 1 question though, wouldn't your dividend growth stocks have to keep up their growth cagr rate forever to outpace income stocks over time? Or am I understanding that wrong?

[@djherro1730]

You would reinvest those dividends into your most suitable industry, keeping the risk rate lower and optimising the growth from what you gain! However saying that, I'm new to this, so I could be COMPLETELY incorrect! Lol!

[@Vergence]

A cool way to show the advantage of dividend growth stocks could be to show what a year might look like in the future using both the dividends and 4% rule, given your portfolio should easily be outpacing that mark.

[@Jesse615]

Another thing (I think) to think about, re: down markets, is that the overall market metric is derived as an average of the performance of 500 stocks in, OTTOMH, 20-odd broad sectors. But even in down markets, there are individual stocks and sectors that perform better than an index as a whole. It just takes a little work to find them!

[@kdavids1009]

It’s important to note that growth and investing are different. If you’re for growth you’d look more to PLTR and chip stocks in my opinion.

[@tanko176]

Maybe I am dumb or I missed something but why wouldn't you buy high yielding dividend payout stocks in the short term then when the long term growth stocks hit the same or higher payout than the high yielding ones you initially bought, you switch to them?

[@Dividendology]

That’s not how that works. Google “yield on cost explained” and that will answer your question.

[@alexanderjoshualee1247]

Does it make sense to invest in high dividend yield stocks/etf for the first few years to build up the cash position before investing all of it into dividend growth stocks?

[@alexanderjoshualee1247]

For a longer time horizon

[@thomaswallace8743]

I think you will have to consider capital gains tax when you sell those high yield dividend stocks so you’ll end up with less to invest in the growth dividend stocks. I’m not sure if this would make it not worth it but it’s definitely something to consider.

[@Jackofalltradesmastersofnone]

This is a great video. An idea if you haven’t made one like this if you have send a link please. Show like AVGO and then with drip turned on and how much you would receive after 10 years instead of $500 it would be like $700. If that makes sense.

[@hmerdad]

@@Dividendology Thanks for your reply. I do understand that. But I mean the strategy that can be followed to determine if the stock will create good capital gains/capital appreciation. As you are doing with dividends by looking at the dividend yield, dividend growth, and dividend safety to determine if the stock is a good dividend stock. What criteria can we use to assess if the stock price will appreciate?

"Dividend Income by Industry" should be "Dividend Income by Sector". They are two different things. Your diversification should be by sector. You should not hold more than 1 stock in the same industry (Not LOWE and HD).

Thanks. Question. Ticker KO. What had you done if you had invested in it in '13, then see their FCF plummet in '16 followed by a payout ration >100% in '17? Do you sell or stay put? Following years have been great. One of the problems I see spreading myself too thin is cost of entry/exit because too high.

Is there a reason we can't invest in the best paying dividend stocks and then move the money over to another stock once it becomes the better paying stock?

[@Dividendology]

Because the share price of dividend growth stocks goes up over time as well, typically keeping their dividend yield around the same. But the dividend yield on cost will continue to grow.

[@anthonyyelchibekov6488]

@@Dividendology okay thanks, I thought that might have been something like that. So that point is essentially that as the stock grows, the equity I have invested grows and therefore I make more with dividends even if I don't add onto the position?

[@8Arachne8]

My opinion, depends on how much longer you’re planning to work and if you have any other retirement accounts/plans. If you’re planning to work until 65-70 you’ve got plenty of time for growing dividends to be worth it, especially if you have other income streams at retirement (pension, social security, etc.). If you’re trying to retire by 60, and don’t have much else invested yet, higher yields may be what you want, but make sure they are still growing dividends even though it will be smaller growth.

[@delliott777]

Perhaps use a screener and search for companies with a little higher Starting Yield and dividend growth that exceeds the rate of long term inflation with modest payout ratio. A smaller portion of your portfolio in “growth stocks”. There are CFA’s out there who can advise you.

[@TheSharkasmCrew]

If CAGR is measured in dollar terms, then it's affected by the stock growth as well as any potential increase in percent-based dividend payment. CAGR also does not seem like a leading indicator - how do you know a company will continue to increase dividend payouts just because they have been consistently for the past 5 or 10 years? It feels like the better strategy is to bet on companies that you believe will perform well in the coming years and who are offering a dividend that isn't too high, regardless of the 5 year dividend CAGR. The FCF CAGR seems like a more useful metric to track than the dividend CAGR.
