Or do both, which I call the hybrid approach, be active w/some of you funds and passive w/other funds....you can then decide later like I did where you want to do more of....I'm gradually reducing my exposure to SFR and small MF because I want less headaches and I see more upside w/large MF apartments because of concepts like scale (300 units vs 1 SFR) and forced appreciation, essentially commercial property is valued based on NOI not comps as much (as SFR and duplex/fourplexes)...hence, if I can improve the NOI on a property I can exponentially create more value.

Even if OPEC decides today to scale back production it would take many months for the existing supply glut to rebalance and another 6 months to restart the wells and find the necessary personnel to oversee them bare minimum.Lot rents are going to go down more before they come back up, and playing a timing game can make or break you.  

He should be hitting economy of scale by now, so his buying power is about to explode if he is doing things right.A handful of years ago, a guy in my area pulled some investor capital and bought a bunch of houses while paying them 8-10% interest only, BRRR till he paid them off and upgraded bank financing.
