Let's say you had design/build capabilities.
Commercial? Reno? Rentals? Multi-family?
What would you invest it in?
ETA: in the Greater BR area!

I think commercial is going to crash. too many big holders of it liquidating or planning to liquidate. brick and mortar as we know it is taking its last breath.

Multifamily rentals no doubt.
Start with a 4-plex

Depends what your goals are. I would take a serious look at a mobile home park if I had $500K cash to play with. If done correctly with loans and management, you could set yourself up for big/long term money.

probably this. I have been looking hard lately at apartment complexes. problem there is we are talking big money and if you do not have all that money you need to raise cash from private investors.

If you're serious, I'd love to have a conversation with you.
I'm currently putting together duplex development in BR between Acadian and Foster.
I'm actually looking for a partner / investor if you'd like to talk.

Multifamily values are as high as they're going to get in terms of value/rent. Any increases in value from here will be purely rent growth driven, IMO. Development is still going to give you the best return but is risky and would be dependent on your experience/capabilities.
I'm not as familiar with the BR apartment market as other markets in the SE. Investors are starting to flow into Class B apartment properties as Class A returns have likely reached a floor. I'd invest in Class B apartments in good locations close to LSU and downtown with potential for Value-Add. An issue a lot of people run into in Value-Add is dealing with contractors and having to outsource everything. If you can handle that yourself, I think there is money to be made in purchasing a $40-50K per unit apartment property that has rents at $500-600 per unit and putting a $10-15k per unit renovation and pushing rents up $200-300/unit. I'd look for 10-30 unit properties to do this especially with your budget.
Personally I'd probably try to do a 10-12 unit with an equity investment of $250k and then do another one with the remaining equity so you're not putting all your eggs in one basket.

income producing farmland in brazil, chile or argentina..
argentina would be normally be my runaway favorite...the problem is those prime lands for grape farming are currently being used as a against the inflation there (deals one would expect...are not easy to spot)
brazil has the best fire sale opportunities of the 3...but is least secure (chile is exactly the opposite)

Most experts would tell you the multi family market in BR has peaked. Plus, LSU is making freshmen live on campus. No bueno.
My advice is to get an office property with a long term lease. Stack cash & equity.
