Image source: Getty Images The last 12 months have been tough on Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW.) shareholders with the share price down 41%. Such a dramatic fall has seen its market cap going below the requisite amount needed to maintain a spot in the coveted FTSE 100, so relegation beckons in the next reshuffle. A falling share price has pushed up the dividend yield to an eye-popping 9.7%, but the number one question is: just how sustainable is it?

For beginners, the right balance of stability, income, and diversification can make all the difference. Looking back at my own portfolio, I realise the value of picking a handful of reliable names early on. These shares aren’t the most exciting or flashy,…
