               Furthermore, section 1.469-5T(f)(2)(ii)(A), Temporary Income           
          Tax Regs., 53 Fed. Reg. 5727 (Feb. 25, 1988), provides that work            
          performed by an individual in the individual's capacity as an               
          investor in an activity shall not be treated as participation of            
          the individual in the activity unless the individual is involved            
          in the day-to-day management or operations of the activity.  We             
          find that petitioners were not involved in the day-to-day                   
          management or operations of their unit because TMC managed and              
          operated the entire Bluefin Bay complex on a daily basis.                   
               Section 1.469-5T(f)(2)(ii)(B), Temporary Income Tax Regs.,             
          53 Fed. Reg. 5727 (Feb. 25, 1988), provides that investor                   
          activities include:                                                         
                    (1) Studying and reviewing financial statements or                
               reports on operations of the activity;                                 
                    (2) Preparing or compiling summaries or analyses of the           
               finances or operations of the activity for the individual's            
               own use; and                                                           
                    (3) Monitoring the finances or operations of the                  
               activity in a non-managerial capacity.                                 
               We find that several of the activities described in                    
          petitioners' personal time records constitute investor                      
          activities.  In particular, petitioners' activities of organizing           
          their personal records, preparing their taxes, paying bills, and            
          reviewing their monthly statements of the rentals of their unit
