I too starting buying LANDP and want to accumulate as it is a monthly payer and like you said a 6% yielder. I do not like to Buy above PAR so have GTC order in for more shares at/below $25.30/share (seems like an ok price to pay above PAR). FWIW first Buy was at $25.58/share last month. Have my first load of shares in the ROTH but would like to put some in the IRA. I have been adding 2-3 year call issues that yield 6% or more. No need to reach for yield, just not worth the risk or time to see if there are any hidden land mines. I also have been looking to add to my Corp C pipelines on any sell off. They include; PBA, KMI and WMB. Want 5% or more with these, so WMB tops the list but think I can get a bit cheaper. I already own shares in all of these. Note that PBA is a monthly payer too ( PBA div at $0.144/month). These pipelines all have exposure to LNG and should be steady growers w/ more natural gas demand in the next few years. I have been doing partial transfers from the IRA to ROTH, rather than waiting for mandatory RMD. I was on a 12 year plan but if/when Trump gets re-elected, thought I would try to average in everything in the IRA to ROTH over the next 5 years. I doubt we will see lower Federal taxes after this period. It's a much eaisier problem to tackle when you spread out these transfers over several years and can still stay in a lower tax bracket by managing what/when types of income is recognized in the taxable account. With the larger personal exemption and no mortgage interest (only property taxes), no need to itemize deductions any more. As a result, could have upped my IRA to ROTH transfer this year by 50% w/o impacting my total Federal tax rate much. Good dividend investing EKS

While DGI is our focus, most of us here have irons in other fires, too... in fact, I can't remember anyone posting here who is 100% DGI.... myself? I'd say around 80% DGI give or take 10%... so we do go off on tangents from time to time, but 99% of the time, return to the main focus... though as many of us age, more and more of us are turning more toward straight income plays, which for me are my CEFs and preferred, but maybe should include a BDC I have and a couple other very high yielders with some revenue and divvy growth, too... the CEFs and preferreds I expect little or no growth in share price or even yield... all the rest, must do their jobs as intended when purchased.
