I have some in ECC right now. It's high risk, but good dividends, so I only invested a few thousand. I also trade off between REITs like OMF, NLY, and KREF. I'm also looking at some real estate projects.

You can read the article I wrote about playing dividends here https://medium.com/write-a-catalyst/playing-the-game-of-dividends-6080a0ed8a68

For funds, I really like VASVX so far. Seems like they're always paying dividends.

Please note: This is just my fun money. If I lose it all, I'll still be able to retire, so make sure you're diversified with safe investments as well.
