one common risk is market volatility. Real estate markets can fluctuate, affecting property values. To mitigate this, research market trends thoroughly before investing.

Investing in an area with declining infrastructure or economic downturn can reduce property value. Choose locations with strong growth potential and stable economic conditions.

Ensure all property documents are clear and free from disputes. Hire a reliable lawyer to verify the legal aspects of the property.

Vacancies or problematic tenants can affect rental income. Conduct thorough background checks and maintain good tenant relationships.

Financing risks can arise if interest rates increase or financial conditions change. Opt for fixed-rate mortgages and keep an emergency fund to cover unforeseen expenses.

Maintenance and repair costs can be unpredictable. Regular property inspections and a reserve fund for repairs can help manage these costs effectively.

Liquidity risks are inherent in real estate, as properties can take time to sell. To mitigate this, have a diversified investment portfolio that includes more liquid assets.
