Looking to expand/diversify family SFR portfolio

My parents have owned 3 single family rentals for the past 5 years or so. The "returns" of their portfolio are OK and are probably a longer-term play to see any meaningful wealth generation. My advice to them is to sell and consolidate the equity into a single property (multi or even commercial, which I would manage). But right now isn't a good time, so they're holding.

They currently have about $250K cash to put towards RE. I'd rather they not buy another SFR due to scalability and instead try to get into tri/fourplexes (in the PNW area where the typical SFR goes for around $500-700K - for reference).

Anyone have any advice on what to do with the cash they're just sitting on? Any opportunities to target? What would you do with $250k cash in this market?
