How about cars? College tuition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t think so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you can do about it though\u2026 You can buy high yielding dividend investments that pay at least 8.5% and give you potential price appreciation in the underlying stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these three companies pays over 8.5% annually and can help you weather the ups and downs of the unpredictable market we find ourselves in today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One even pays a massive 15.95% dividend\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>No. 3: Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dividend Yield: 8.97%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Starwood Property Trust Inc<\/strong>, also an American real estate investment trust (REIT) is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income as dividends to shareholders. But instead of managing residential mortgages, Starwood originates, acquires, and manages commercial mortgage loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company operates a commercial lending segment, infrastructure lending segment, property segment, and investing and servicing segment. The former acquires and finances mortgages with primary lien positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collateral for these mortgages is mainly office and hospitality properties in Western and Northeastern America. Starwood&#8217;s investing and servicing unit primarily generates revenue from the acquisition and sale of commercial mortgage-backed securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And right now, the business is doing so well that STWD can afford to pay a solid<em>&nbsp;<\/em>7.5% dividend for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starwood has also never missed a dividend payment since going public in 2009. In fact, the company has increased its dividend 4,700% \u2013 from $0.01 in 2009 to $0.48 today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>No. 2: Solar Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ: SLRC)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dividend Yield: 11.27%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar Capital Ltd. is an investment company that primarily finances senior secured loans of private mid-cap companies to generate current income. Since senior secured loans are the first to be paid out in case of bankruptcy, it\u2019s safer than all other forms of debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar Cap\u2019s investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The company generates revenue primarily in the form of interest; dividend income and others. And that income is then distributed straight into shareholders\u2019 pockets quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business hasn\u2019t missed a dividend payment since it went public back in 2010\u2026 And I don\u2019t foresee it missing one in the foreseeable future, no matter which way the market turns next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>No. 1: Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp. (NYSE: CHMI)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dividend Yield: 15.95%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp manages real estate in the United States. The company invests in residential mortgage assets with the objective of generating high current yields and risk-adjusted total returns for its stockholders over the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since it operates as a REIT, it\u2019s required to pay a minimum of 90% of all taxable income in the form of dividends to shareholders each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry Hill generates most of its revenue from residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), in the form of Interest income earned for servicing mortgage loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since going public in 2013, CHMI has also never missed a dividend payment. And right now, you can lock in shares for a massive 15.95% yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re in retirement or not, generating consistent income can help you navigate the toughest market cycles\u2026 That&#8217;s especially true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[254,3421,3422],"tags":[3431,888,3425],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10364"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10364"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10366,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10364\/revisions\/10366"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
