SSDI and real estate professional status - will it void SSDI eligibility?

[Karen F.]

I have wound up with about a dozen units that I now need to manage on my own.  I am on SSDI for the past 6 years or so, due to serious illness, which is now temporarily quieter.  I advertise for tenants, show units when I can, pick up materials and appliances (but don't load and unload) and meet inspectors, supervise repair workers, collect rents, keep records, pay bills, etc.

I'm absolutely spending enough hours/year to claim real estate professional status, and since I no longer work in my former profession due to disability, it's definitely more than half my working time.  

The rental income has always been pass-through income.  I never used a property manager, but my ex used to do most of the management.  The rental income will continue to be pass-through.

I understand that there are tax advantages for claiming real estate professional status.  But will it make me ineligible for SSDI?
