We sold a rental property and bought $300,000 in dividend stocks

We sold a rental property in Austin, Texas and bought $300,000 in dividend stocks and ETFs with M1 Finance. The goal of this is to live off of the passive income from our dividend portfolio in early retirement. We are working towards reaching Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) by living 100% off our dividend growth portfolio.

In the video I mentioned that QYLD was taxed as ROC. After reviewing the full year Distributions – Year End Tax Supplement, QYLD was taxed primarily as ordinary income in 2021. The tax treatment can change each year depending on volatility.

  1. How is it tax free? Thought you said it was a rental property. You’d have to stop renting, then live there for two years before you erase the cap gains obligation. Can’t claim the two years you lived there 8 years ago.

  2. Dividends are what got me into investing in stocks. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. I bought a lot of Intel before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.

  3. I am slowly making my way through all of your videos, there is a lot to take in. Have you ever read a book called The Ponzi Factor or seen any of Tan Liu's videos, and if so what was your take? Did it influence your investing strategy?

  4. Just curious, part of F.I.R.E. is reducing your annual cost of living. Your $720k cash flow portfolio with about 5% dividend is about 36k a year (ignoring tax stuff). Assuming you aren't planning on selling any of your stocks, what other "passive" income are your holding (more real estate?) and how low have you gotten your annual expenses? What have you done to lower annual expenses?

  5. Hi, I'm Leo from China. We are happy to promote your videos to Chinese audience via Chinese social media by translating and adding Chinese subtitles to the original videos. May I get your permission so we would be able to work on it? Thank you very much!

  6. In my opinion, real estate is an exceptional asset and has both pros and cons as do dividend stocks. The biggest benefit to dividend stocks or even just REITs for that matter is minimal upkeep or need to be glued to them as long as they are quality long term investments..

  7. Hey Jake, it's been a while. I hope you are doing well. Congrats on the investment decision. I finally pulled the triggered and started a regular taxable account as of January 2022. I decided to somewhat extend my Roth IRA into a taxable. In my Roth I have IJR, SPYD, and FDEWX. In my taxable account, instead of SPYD I will be adding HDV. And instead of IJR and FDEWX I will be adding ITOT. I really didn't see much difference between ITOT and VTI.
