Investors seeking steady income amid market volatility can consider high-yield dividend stocks in REITs and BDCs, which offer reliable cash flow without the hassles of direct property ownership.

Together, investing about $50,000 evenly across these three stocks could generate over $6,300 in annual passive income.
