Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

[Efrainmype]

I've been looking at all the Vanguard ETFs and nothing gives around 5%, not the VIG or anything in dividends.


The only things giving 5% would be a really extremely risky bond for corporations or international bonds.

What are you investing in that gives 5% returns for your money system (https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/tags/money+system/)?

Stock market listed real estate investment companies.

Closest thing I know to real passive income.

I'm not talking stock price appreciation, just dividend pay out.

Study their annual reports first and get a grip on the industry before you jump into it though.

Do you mean something like KRC (https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:KRC)?

Do you have any recommendations on which companies to start studying?

Average the top 5 together and you'll get around 5%, plus look at Shell, BP, Verizon, etc. Lot's of blue chips out there that can get you 5% annually

Why is your goal 5%?

...that's not even keeping up with inflation.
