What Dividend Stocks/Funds/ETFS Would You Invest in to Achieve $2,500 a Month Income?

For Background:

I'm 40 year old, currently living in Southeast Asia. I don't currently have a paying job.

* My only income is through rent \~$1,600usd net monthly profit. I paid $370,000 for the condo in 2022 (no mortgage). It's probably only worth about $400-425,000 at this moment. The ROI is bad.
* I'd like to increase my passive monthly income to $2,500.
* I want to sell the condo and re-invest into dividend funds with a goal of getting $2,500 a month from dividends. Assuming I will have $400,000 to invest after the sale. I have $200,000 in other investments (50% between FTEC, FZROX, QQQ, FNILX, SCHG, FNCMX, ITOT) which I don't draw on for living expenses (but I don't mind reallocating).
* Assuming I will net $400,000 from the sale of the condo, do you think it's worth it sell the condo? What would be the initial selection of funds/etfs/stocks to get to a steady $2,500 a month?
