I just posted my April 2025 dividend portfolio update on YouTube and wanted to share some key takeaways with you all, plus open up the discussion for feedback or strategy ideas.
This is now my third month of dividend investing, and things are starting to pick up. Here’s a quick overview:
🔹 Portfolio Highlights:
- Portfolio value: ~$18,000 (up from $11K in March with new investments)
- 2025 estimated dividend income: $632 (up from $440)
- April dividends received: ~$100
- Top buys so far:
$O (+1,15%)
$VICI (+1,66%)
$VWRL (+3,21%)
Sold: All-World ETF $VWRL (+3,21%) before the recent dip and bought back lower- I'm currently tracking $JEGP (+0,75%)
$PEP (+0,69%)
$SHEL (+1,49%) to possibly buy next - New accounts: Set up two retirement accounts for tax efficiency (one for me, one for my wife)
🎯 Goals:
- Reach $100/month in dividend income
- DRIP at least 1 Realty Income share per month
- Start a weekly DCA series on the channel

Would love your feedback—especially from others who are in their early months of building a dividend growth portfolio. How are you handling current market volatility? Any REITs or dividend stocks you're watching closely?
