@Drew Sygit had an excellent response regarding property class.

Class A: around $250k each = $7.5 millionClass B: around $175k each = $5.25 millionClass C: around $125k each = $3.75 million- maintenance & tenant-nonperformance will require more unitsClass D: unlikely to work outSo, how are you going to turn $500k into at least $3.75M?

Each of these asset classes requires a deep understanding of market conditions, legal nuances, and financial structuring to avoid costly mistakes.For example, tax liens can seem like easy wins but come with complications such as redemption periods and legal challenges.

This means investing across asset classes, geographical locations, strategies, and sponsors.  

Are you promoting some sort of mastermind and using that to get investors to join your class?

HUD targets average rents for an area, so just like average school grades, this typically translates to Class C property rents.In our Metro Detroit market, the MAJORITY of the claims about getting higher than market rents can be traced to a Class D Neighborhood/Property. 

The lower the class area the higher the cashflow you should be receiving.

I also am starting a 4-class certificate program in REI.

This is going to vary widely depending on the strategy and real estate asset class.
