From owning a single Taco Bell in the late '60s, to over 5,000 properties today, O has proven the advantages of being a passive landlord. Their \"triple-net\" structure means that most \"property level\" expenses are the responsibility of the tenant. This means that their business model is easily scalable.</p>\n<p>O is a dividend wonder, and has paid 610 consecutive monthly dividend payments. That's over 50 years! Just since 1994, O has increased their dividend 110 times! In fact, O has recently raised their dividend 5-6 times a year, the last time they \"only\" raised it once a quarter was in 2014.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cdc3124ce4b62fe474ddd968d72eef2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"239\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>Source:Realty Income</i></p>\n<p>Additionally, O has the best cost of capital in their sector with an \"A\" graded balance sheet.

When aristocrats go on sale, buy them.</p>\n<p>Pick #2: Antero Midstream (AM) - Yield 9.1%</p>\n<p>Antero Midstream has grown some legs and walked up to the $10 before retreating and consolidating. Currently, it offers a 9.1% yield.</p>\n<p>Natural gas prices have remained strong meaning that AM and its parent Antero Resources (AR) will continue to see strength. With inflation pushing up prices on common goods, energy names work as a good inflationary hedge as their underlying commodities tend to lead the charge in rising prices.

In addition to covering their dividend, AM expects that their free cash flow will be sufficient to self-fund all current and backlogged projects through 2025. This will allow them to grow earnings without increasing leverage. Additionally, they expect to have approximately $0.5 billion through 2025 that they will use to deleverage and buy back stock.</p>\n<p>It's rare that a company yielding over 9% is in such a strong financial position that they can fund their capex, deleverage, buy back stock and pay a 9%-plus yield on their dividend.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a1d4472f073d5f84031c64226adc4ef\" tg-width=\"574\" tg-height=\"274\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Dreamstime</i></p>\n<p>Pick #3:<b>PIMCOCorporate & Income Opportunity Fund</b>(PTY) - Yield 7.9%</p>\n<p>Most bond funds simply buy and hold classes of bonds.

PTY provides you with a minimum yield of 7.9%, which from time to time gets bigger when PTY has a good year.</p>\n<p>When I'm allocating funds in my brokerage account, my PIMCO fund gets a large position. For those who are looking for solid dividend income over the long haul, you can always trust PIMCO.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f1ee0c4da01efe56999c0ec46c88cd55\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"427\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>Source: Dreamstime</i></p>\n<p>Conclusion</p>\n<p>Gambling is something that many people simply enjoy doing. The rush you get when you \"win,\" the thrill of seeing large swings that get your heart pumping and your adrenaline up – we get it. We've been there too. In retirement, many people love to go hit the casino and gamble.
