Real estate professional status

Hi all in the BP community! I was wondering for those of you who utilize the real estate professional status for tax purposes what are ways you qualify for the 750 hours besides property management. Curious to hear unique and creative ideas. My wife (former writer and editor) and I are planning to invest in the bay area and likely won't have enough property to manage to qualify purely on management alone. We both have our CA real estate licenses as of recent. An idea we have considered is copywriting for a real estate company for marketing purposes.
