Strategy

This "Starter Income" portfolio implements a dividend-focused wheel strategy, concentrating capital across three high-yield, income-generating securities to build passive cash flow. The approach prioritizes steady dividend distributions over capital appreciation, targeting yields between 5-12% across mortgage REITs, business development companies, and traditional REITs. With no active options trading yet executed (zero closed trades), the portfolio is in a foundational accumulation phase.

Why Starter Income?

Designed for smaller accounts getting started with income investing. Three high-quality dividend payers with liquid options markets. Learn the wheel strategy without overcomplicating your portfolio.
