500 domains * $10 (assume whois protection) = $5000 a year just for hosting. Additionally, no way you are going to build out 500 sites without using very low quality/spam/dupe content. So a more likely scenario is in 3 years they make $0 a day... and thats assuming you can even get the sites to $1 a day average (in which case $5k a year is no big deal.)
I would recommend putting the money into generic keyword/phrase domain names, and then paying someone to build out a high quality site, all built to be SE friendly. Throw in some high quality incoming links, add a forum once there is traffic, repeat.
This isn't a fast track to raking in cash, but it is the only thing I'd put any money on being ong term on the web. If you didn't overpay on the domains, you should be able to get your return on those without any SE traffic, content, or forums.
Trying to make broad assumptions and asking these broad questions isn't a very good approach. I'd recommend learning as much as you can about specific subjects first. Then you can weigh the pros and cons and mak the right judgements on your own. This shit changes so fast no one is an expert on much of anything.
