Mid-month dividends and minor adjustments

The usual mid-month dividends received. We received 18,25 CAD dividend from Exchange Income Corporation, 42,90 CAD dividend from Inter Pipeline. These were our Canadian dividends.

From US we received  49,21 € dividends from Omega Healthcare and 15,95 € from Main Street Capital. On next day, 16th of May we received 16.85 € dividend from Realty Income and 22,37 € from Senior Housing Properties.

We sold our position on Corus Entertainment, unfortunately only after the crash, on 16th of May. We were about to sell it anyway. Now we realized only 26 CAD profit on this transaction. We increased our position in Dream Global REIT by 50 shares.

Now we have collected 58,69% of our expected passive income, So we are on the track.
We made small adjustment to our expectation by removing the taxes. Now our expected net dividend income is 3892,78€. Earlier the expected amount was gross amount. Now it is easier to track progression.

Yet another slow week

Week started by receiving interest. We received 12,50 CAD interest, which is approximately 8,31€. On Friday we received 49,51 € after taxes and fees dividends from Whitestone REIT.

We bought 15 shares of Telia Company. The trading costs are not important here because our bank charges 1.95€/ month upkeeping fee for inactive accounts. Account is seen as inactive if there has not been any transactions within last quarter. This evaluation if account has been active or not is made at the start of every quarter. Now when we bought 15 shares of Telia and paid 56 cents as a transaction fee, we actually saved 5,85-0,56=5,29 €. Next time we have to buy shares to that account is by end of September. As we have several accounts, we still have one account left, where we have to do small investment to keep that account as active.

Now our accumulated capital income is 2122,36€.

Week 18

The end of the month was pretty active time for us. We bought some shares and we received few dividends. We are still arranging our other liabilities to improve our free cashflow in the future.

In this week we bought 125 shares of Dream Global REIT. This will add approximately 7 CAD/month to our dividend cashflow. We also increased our position at Main Street Capital with 25 shares. Our planned position at Main Street Capital is almost reached now and we planned to put buys on hold for a while for this share.

We made repayment of our investment loan. We paid 8,36 € interests and expenses and 213€ capital.

From Gladstone Capital we received 4,70 € after fees and taxes deducted. LTC Properties paid us 7,08 €.

May started with quarterly dividends from AT&T was 96,37 € after fees and taxes. Another telecom company that paid us dividends was Verizon Communications Inc. We received 44,94 € from Verizon.

This weeks total dividend income was 153,09 €. Net cashflow was a bit negative in this week as we paid investment loan installment.  We are thinking if we should start tracking the investment cashflow more. 

Now we have accumulated total of 43,13% of our target passive income. This is pretty good because our target was gross dividends, and we follow net dividends.
