A $1 million portfolio can yield $4,600 monthly, equating to $55,000 annually, by targeting a 5.6% blended yield. This yield must outpace safer assets while managing risks. Sustainable income portfolios require careful strategy selection, balancing yield, risk, and principal preservation. The Conservative Tier focuses on dividend growth with yields of 3.5% to 4%, while the Moderate Tier includes net lease REITs and preferred shares, typically yielding between 5% and 7%. Understanding these tiers is crucial for maintaining income without eroding capital.
