At the 'raise $50-100k level' its a marketing ploy for the GPs to sell their deal because lets face it, multiple share classes sound sexy and super professional.

Conversions sound sexy and they are getting done but there can be a lot involved.

No sexy 30yf with low fees.

None of this is sexy stuff, which is part of the problem methinks. 

I'm still working towards that by aggressively paying down debt borrowing against my TSP at 1.5% to pay down debt in the teens.

Otherwise, invest passively with others to get a return in the teens.

I did not pay too much attention to investing back when I was in my teens, but I do have some good friends who invest there.

It's not sexy, but it works, and cash flow is sexy. 

That being said, a lot of people seem to assume they can achieve a 10%+ CoC return on a SFR and 25%+ overall returns in SFR or small multis, versus 5-6% and mid-teens overall in Syndications.
