Welcome to the forums!
With that much capital per month you need to be very careful about broker fees. Most brokers charge $5-$7 per trade, so if your transaction size is $100 you'd be losing 5-7% in broker fees each month. Some things to consider to avoid this:
* Find a broker with very low or no fees (Robinhood, Loyalty3, etc)
* Use a direct stock purchase plan through a service like ComputerShare. Most of the time you buy stock directly from the company and can avoid most fees. I don't have any experience with these.
* Accumulate enough cash for each transcation so broker fees are only ~0.5% per transaction (ie $1,000 - $1,250 per transaction).
I do not know anything about ARR, but it appears to be an mREIT with a yield of 18%. This seems EXTREMELY risky to me. I would stick with the DGI blue chip stalwarts (JNJ, KO, etc). Also, if you are new to analyzing companies I would consider investing in an index fund. There are even DGI index funds like SCHD.
