Going For Dividend Yield Or Capital Appreciation? - Part 1

Stock dividends as passive income?

Stock dividend is a true passive income in a sense that it requires very little or near zero maintenance effort by the stock owner to continue to receive this passive income. For example, if we compare to rental income, it still require the landlord to put up a fair amount of maintenance effort to continue to receive this rental income.

Unless you are renting out the whole house or flat, beside the privacy issue, one still need to seriously consider the potential health and security hazards posed by the tenants as there is no guarantee that the tenants are in good health and come clean.

This is really a serious trade off in renting out spare rooms to earn passive income.
