What Are the Risks of Investing in Real Estate?

Every investment carries risk, and real estate is no exception. In my experience, market downturns, unexpected maintenance costs, tenant vacancies, and interest rate changes are the primary challenges investors face. Overleveraging with too much debt can magnify losses during slow markets. Additionally, local factors like zoning changes or neighborhood shifts can impact property value. The best defense is education and diversification — owning different types of properties or investing in multiple markets. Investors who plan carefully and stay financially flexible can weather most challenges while maintaining long-term profitability.
