Look into the REIT's as someone else mentioned....or Canadian Royal Trusts (a little " shaky" right now because of some politics)

If you go to http://www.investorvillage.com

...you can look up either one of those ...just type in REIT's, or CANROYS...in the "symbol" box and it'll take you to a board full of very knowledgeable investors....you'll have to "register" to ask a question, but it's a nice site to have for future references

Ask about "monthly" dividends...there are plenty!

Oops! There is also a board for " dividend investing" there...

....and also ask about MLP's....another type of investment that deposits your dividend in your "cash" account.

Don't be shy...most of the people at that particular site are very gracious to "newbies"

Best of luck.

Oh! to get the whole thing going you'll have to go to a broker..like E-trade ( everything on-line)...set up an account, and then buy

whatever type investment you want... ( it's not hard or even complicated)
