Brett Owens graduated from Cornell University and soon thereafter left Corporate America permanently at age 26 to co-found two successful SaaS (Software as a Service) companies. Today they serve more than 26,000 business users combined. Brett took his software profits and started investing in dividend-paying stocks.

Today, it's almost impossible to find good stocks that pay a quality yield. So Brett employs a contrarian approach to locate high payouts that are available thanks to some sort of broader misjudgment. Renowned billionaire investor Howard Marks called this ''second-level thinking.'' It's looking past the consensus belief about an investment to map out a range of probabilities to locate value. It is possible to find secure yields of 6% or more in today's market — it just requires a second-level mindset.
