3 Options for Investors Looking to Create Monthly Passive Income Creatively

"There's no such thing as a binary choice (it's got to be option A or B) when it comes to creating monthly passive income. Investors have dozens of options to choose from, many of which involve publicly-traded securities (and many of which don't). Some investors may choose to look at private investments in rental properties, private equity, and other sources to create meaningful passive income streams for retirement."

"I'm going to talk about some options tied to this space in this piece, but am going to focus my attention on publicly-traded securities for now. Why? Well, publicly-traded securities provide much better liquidity, allowing investors to enter and exit positions as they need capital. I think that those investing for retirement may want or require this liquidity, so that's the basis for this overarching perspective."

"With more than 15,000 properties in its portfolio, most of which are anchored by quality tenants under long-term agreements, Realty Income remains a go-to option for those in the passive income investing world. The company's recent results this past quarter, in which EPS surge from $1.26 the same quarter a year prior to $1.41 (and revenue shot to nearly $5 billion for the quarter), suggests that the company's 5.7% dividend yield is not only sustainable, but could have room to rise"

Investors can pursue dozens of avenues to create monthly passive income, including private investments such as rental properties and private equity as well as publicly-traded securities. Publicly-traded securities provide superior liquidity, enabling investors to enter and exit positions as capital needs change and often suit retirement planning. Realty Income (NYSE: O) is a prominent REIT focused on monthly income, owning over 15,000 properties anchored by long-term, quality tenants. Recent quarterly results showed EPS rising from $1.26 to $1.41 and revenue near $5 billion, supporting a 5.7% dividend yield that appears sustainable and may have room to increase.
