Many successful active investors transition to passive investing as a way to diversify into new asset classes or markets and to earn back some of their time and still benefit from the positives of real estate investing.To answer your question - I would allocate a portion of the $200,000 to MF as I believe this is a good time to invest in an asset class that has recently struggled. 

I believe there’s opportunity in every corner of this business, and I want to make the most of it.Also figured I would reach out to likeminded people, the only family I have is the one I am creating I have my in-laws support as well so that is a help.

Hi tax pros - I have a question about REPS status.First, selfishly, do you believe that my job as CEO of BiggerPockets, which I spend obviously spend essentially all working hours on, and dwarfs activities involving my real estate portfolio (which is managed via a property manager) qualifies me for REPS status?

If the tenant insists on staying, that indicates that they don't really believe there's a health risk.I think your PM is incompetent or maybe just inexperienced.
