An annuity will barely keep up with inflation, and is rather a holding place for safe keeping, not an investment in my mind, any more than a CD or debt instrument is an investment.
An investment is actively managed. It has no term or guaranteed return. It involves risk, and therefore has a greater potential.
It is unclear what you mean by "invest in an investor." Since you wish to have a postitive cash flow, as all people do, I understand this "investor" to mean someone whom is successful at investing or trading?
I am a successful trader and I have investors. Is this what you mean?
You are looking for someone who has a winning track record overall of more than one year. Study each individual month for significant drawdowns. What is the maximum drawdown, and how many losing trades in a row does he make? You want to evaluate any investment from the standpoint of risk first, not how much money he can make you. If he makes $10,000 one month, but loses $20,000 the second month, what have you got?
I hope this helps.
You may want to re-post your question with more specifics.

There are investments that pay dividends monthly, if that is your question? Some examples are the following:
A money market account.
closed end mutual funds that invest in fixed income securites and some open ended mutual funds. One such is DVF currently paying 0.15 a share monthly and selling for about $18.80 giving an annual return of about 9.5%. The fund invests in sub-investment grade bonds so there is risk associated with this fund.
ERC pays monthly at an annual rate of about 8.43% and invests partially in foreign government bonds to protect against fluctuations in the value of the dollar.
Those are only two of a vast number of choices.

An annuity will do the trick.
Sold by almost every investment company (Fidelity, Vanguard, etc) and insurance company.
Shop and compare.
