My "reserves" are actually invested in equal parts cash, long-term Treasury bonds, the total work stock market, and gold, which is a very defensive asset allocation that should theoretically hold its value and likely grow in just about any economic environment.

I would recommend pulling up Schedule E and fill out a profit and loss for your property, including depreciation (3.636% for a full year of depreciation for the fair market value allocated to the building).

@Holly High if you did not purchase the property using capital gains and did not purchase through a QOZ Fund then the investment will not qualify.If you buy a new home and sell it to a consumer that would also disqualify you as you would not meet the ten year hold requirementAny substantial improvement to the property must be 100% of your basis in the original property less the value of the land.For example: You buy an apartment building for $600k, and allocate $50k to the land purchase.

Ive currently allocated about 5-10% of my investment fund to explore crowdsourcing related platforms...an amount I personally feel comfortable with, knowing it can be a higher risk environment.  

I would do your homework on where the $1,200/mo fee is being allocated. 

I am re-allocating capital from some value plays to cash flow plays...in MHP, SS, and MF. 

Understand the different investment strategies and asset classes and risk, and then figure out how much you want to allocate to each.

Low-cost index funds in your desired asset allocation.  4% withdrawal rate.  

Remember you have to allocate value to land and building and just depreciate the building. 

Stessa feels smart like personal capital finance but a limited version on viewing your data but far advanced for keeping income and expenses allocated to properties and tax preparation.
