If you're looking for high-yield dividend stocks, I've got some good news. A couple of mortgage REITs offer eye-popping yields, and there's a chance they'll be able to maintain their payouts. Shares of AGNC Investment (NASDAQ: AGNC) and Annaly Capital (NYSE: NLY) offer an average yield of 13.

Investing $10,000 in each of these nine dividend stocks will generate more than $1,000 per month in passive income.

These companies have attractive dividend yields, and analysts expect them to show high growth rates for revenue and profits through 2026.

There are countless ways to start collecting passive income. One great option is to invest in EPR Properties ( EPR 2.38%). The real estate investment trust (REIT) pays a monthly dividend that currently yields 6.5%. At that rate, a $1,000 investment would generate about $65 of dividend income each year.

These stocks offer monthly dividends and high yields, making them top investments to generate solid passive income.
