Want $5,790 in Passive Income? Invest $30,000 Each Into These 3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks

High-yield dividend stocks offer cash flow with full liquidity, meaning you can add, trim, or exit a position on any trading day. That combination of yield and flexibility is why income-focused investors favor telecom, energy infrastructure, and healthcare real estate.

We screened our 24/7 Wall St. dividend equity research database for stocks paying massive dividends and found a collection that can generate over $5,790 a year in passive annual income if you invest $30,000 in each stock at the time of this writing.

Healthpeak Properties

• Stock #3: Healthpeak Properties (NYSE:DOC | DOC Price Prediction)
• Yield: 7%
• Shares for $30,000: ~1,791
• Annual Passive Income: ~$2,185

Healthpeak Properties is a healthcare REIT concentrated in three high-demand segments: life sciences, outpatient medical, and senior housing. As a REIT, it must distribute at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders, structurally pushing yields higher than most equity categories. The company pays a monthly dividend of $0.10167 per share, translating to an annualized rate of $1.22 per share.

The portfolio is actively expanding. Healthpeak acquired a South San Francisco life science campus for $600 million and executed 2.1 million square feet of new and renewal leases in outpatient medical and lab space. The company is planning a spinoff of its senior housing assets into a separate REIT called Janus Living. Institutional investors hold nearly 98% of the float. The analyst consensus target sits at $19.84, above the current trading price of $16.54.

Enterprise Products Partners

• Stock #2: Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD)
• Yield: ~6%
• Shares for $30,000: ~800
• Annual Passive Income: ~$1,760

Enterprise Products Partners is one of the largest midstream energy MLPs in North America, operating an integrated network of natural gas, NGL, crude oil, petrochemical, and refined product pipelines, processing plants, and storage facilities. The MLP pass-through structure means the partnership does not pay corporate income tax at the entity level, allowing it to distribute the bulk of operating cash flow directly to unitholders. A portion of each distribution is often tax-deferred, adding after-tax efficiency for taxable accounts.

The business delivered record NGL fractionation of 1.9 million barrels per day and record pipeline volumes of 14.1 million BPD-equivalent in Q4 2025. The current quarterly distribution is $0.55 per unit, annualizing to $2.20 per unit, and the partnership has grown its distribution for 27 consecutive years. Management authorized a $5 billion unit buyback program, with approximately $1.4 billion repurchased to date. Insiders own 33% of units outstanding, signaling strong alignment.

Verizon Communications

• Stock #1: Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ)
• Yield: ~6%
• Shares for $30,000: ~652
• Annual Passive Income: ~$1,845

Verizon is the largest U.S. wireless carrier by subscribers, generating FY2024 revenue of $134.79 billion and free cash flow of $19.82 billion. Wireless service revenue has grown for 18 consecutive quarters, and the company has grown its fixed wireless access subscriber base to approximately 4.6 million, targeting 8 to 9 million by 2028. The pending Frontier Communications acquisition would expand its fiber footprint.

The most recent quarterly dividend came in at $0.7075 per share, reflecting continued dividend growth. Institutional investors hold about 69% of shares, and the analyst consensus price target is $51.58 against a current price of $45.14. The stock is up 17% year-to-date, showing that yield and price appreciation can coexist in telecom when fundamentals are solid.

Combined, these three positions generate $5,790 in annual passive income on a $90,000 investment, a blended yield of approximately 6%. Healthpeak Properties contributes $2,185, Enterprise Products Partners adds $1,760, and Verizon rounds out the portfolio with $1,845.

What separates this income portfolio from a rental property or private credit fund is the ability to reinvest distributions automatically, scale positions up or down without transaction friction, and hold three distinct economic drivers under one strategy. Cash flow that compounds quietly over time becomes the most consequential part of a portfolio.
