Just put the money gradually into the 90%SPY/10%Bond portfolio 2/ Put money into RE. 

Policies tend to change slowly and gradually.

I never charged a late fee (I know it was my fault for not charging) but I asked them to gradually start paying on time again and they simply said they could not... and on top of that I raised the rent and they saID they would not pay the increase until the property was updated... so I decided to evict them... the problem is... they say they are owed their deposit and their last month rent... they claim that they were paying on time (I have text messages showing they were paying late) and that they want their security deposit back (the house was in horrible conditions when we got it back) to start off... the front door was supposed to be replaced by them because a fireman had to break in because her mom fell and could not get up... then when they were evicted they left a 20 feet by 5 feet high pile of junk outside the yard... they took the locks off the side doors and a door inside my master room, they took a fan from the family room... they took some of the light sockets, they never repainted a black wall in the bedrooms and an orange one in the family room, they took the door off the pantry (not to mention it's literally black of how dirty it was) the new shower I made is now black!!!!

Then I could fix the major items first, and gradually keep making improvements as long as they continued to keep paying rent.

We gradually acquired a few more and I bought him out about 20 years later. 

Goals: I want to utilize real estate to gradually grow passive income.

By stepping it up gradually, we are giving here the chance to either adapt, or have plenty of time to find other arrangements.
