In that grossly simplified example, that is about 50 hours a year. And I suspect that in many cases, it would be noticeably less than that.
As it happens, it appears there are multiple threads on this exact issue. Two of the threads were started by this OP while another was started by someone else, with another username at least (and it remains unanswered).
See QBI Deduction For Rentals (intuit.com)
The above link is to the thread I had stuck in my head and, as you can see, the owner has two rentals and stated, "We manage all aspects of running this activity from selecting tenants, doing repairs, hiring contractors, writing lease documentation, collecting rent, keeping records, etc.", yet maintains they fall short of the 250-hour threshold - that is a lot of activity which seems like it could easily chew up circa 21 hours a month.
