While a good many millionaires will agree that their fortunes were made in real estate, the honest ones will also tell you that they’ve probably lost a few fortunes in real estate along the way.
This is a risky business and every property purchased doesn’t always pan out to become a successful investment. There are many risks involved in real estate investing and you would be going to battle unprepared if you didn’t take a moment to carefully study these risks and work to avoid them when planning your property investment strategy.
Unfortunately, there are very few one size fits all risks for real estate investing, as each type of investing is inherently different. This means that each type of real estate investment will involve a new set of risks. Below you will find a brief overview of different styles of investing and the common risks that are involved in each.
Rental Properties
This type of investing offers some risks that are unique and some that are also risks when investing in properties that are lease-to-own or rent-to-own as well. First and foremost is the risk of failing to make a profit. If the property in question cannot achieve an adequate monthly income to cover the expenses of operating the property then it is not a solid investment.
Other risks include the risk of getting bad tenants. This is particularly hard on first time investors. Bad tenants are costly and in some cases destructive (which leads to even greater expense). Vacancies are another risk for rental properties. These properties are only costing money as they sit empty rather than earning money as they were intended. Short turnovers are in your best interest as are long-term tenants.
“Flipped” Properties
This is one of the most enjoyable types of property investments for many ‘hands on’ investors. This allows the investor to roll up his or her sleeves and take an active role in creating the masterpiece that will eventually bring in serious revenue (at least that is the hope). This is also one of the riskier investments, particularly when trying to turn a profit in what is known as a buyer’s market.
The risks are simple but often overlooked and they can have a significant impact on the overall success or failure of the project. First of all, the biggest risk is in paying too much for the property.
Other risks include underestimating the costs of repairs, over estimating the ability of the investor to do the work him or herself, taking too much time, experiencing a down turn in the housing market, making the wrong judgment call for the neighborhood, becoming overly ambitious, and getting greedy. Sometimes it is much better to walk away with a lesser profit than to end up losing money by holding out.
Personal Residence
Keep in mind that your personal home is essentially an investment. The intention is that your home will gain in value over time and that equity in your home will build as you age. There are risks involved in this transaction as well. Buying a home that is in a ‘borderline’ area or one that is not showing obvious signs of growth is one of the biggest risks. This puts your home in the position to lose rather than gain value.
This can make your home a burden rather than the investment it was intended to be. Other risks involve is becoming involved in a loan situation that is not at all beneficial (such as an adjustable rate mortgage or an unreasonable balloon payment).
Perhaps the biggest risk of all when purchasing a personal residence as an investment is failing to get a proper inspection that could rule out potentially costly and even dangerous problems within the home your purchase for you and your family.
Toxic mold is one problem that comes easily to mind that most proper home inspections would almost immediately rule out. Others include structural problems that are costly to repair and dangerous to leave in disrepair. Each of these risks should be considered before an offer is made on any property.
For those seeking to turn impressive profits in short order, real estate is one way in which this can be accomplished. It is in your best interest however to be aware of the risks that are involved and take careful steps to minimize those risks. Taking these steps now may cost a little more on the front end but in many cases the payoff for doing so well outweigh the expenses.

Buying a foreclosed home is different in several important ways from buying a typical home. Being aware of these key differences can help you spot a bargain versus a property to pass up.
The Pros
The house will be vacant so once the deal is done, you would be able to move in right away. Sometimes the price will be competitive for the neighborhood you want to move into.
The Cons and How to Get Around Them
Only one real estate agent is involved
You will often see the abbreviation REO (Real Estate Owned); that is, the owner is a bank or other mortgage lender. They will usually only deal with one realtor, so you might not have a lot of chances to negotiate. If you do find an REO you love, see who the agent is, and meet with them. If you are very serious about moving forward quickly, you might also ask to meet the lender.
You need to be pre-approved
The one real estate agent will not deal with you unless and until you either have cash in hand for the house, or have a pre-approval letter from your mortgage lender. The pre-approval process can take several weeks while your prospective lender looks into your employment, pay stubs, and credit history (and your partner’s too). This means the house of your dreams could be bought by someone else by the time you get all your paperwork in order. The best deals will go quickly.
The one agent might be very busy
If there are a lot of foreclosed properties in your area, the one agent may be very rushed and not able to give you a lot of their time. Know what you want and ask to view only those properties that really match your needs and budget.
One price fits all
There is little room for negotiation on price, because the bank will want to recoup as much of their losses as possible on a foreclosed home in order to make up for the mortgage that has been defaulted upon. Check websites like Trulia and Zillow to see the typical prices houses have been recently sold for in that neighborhood, to be sure you really are getting a good deal.
The home may not be in great repair
Any issues found by the property inspection will need to be repaired by you, not the bank.
It might be badly maintained/a mess
People who lose their home will often leave it in a bad state of repair – or worse still, vandalize the property. They might also leave a lot of their things behind. The garden, guttering, plumbing and so on will not have been maintained. You might have trouble getting electricity, water and other utilities turned back on after the previous account holders defaulted.
Every home you wish to buy should be thoroughly inspected, and a detailed list of issues provided. Ask the realtor for recommendations for reliable inspectors. Also ask for recommendations for contractors who could carry out the needed repairs and get quotes. You can research contractors online as well, or ask friends and family if they know anyone reliable.
You can also assess how many of the jobs on the list you might be able to tackle yourself before you move in. In most cases, you should be able to handle cleaning and painting, but if you don’t have time, hire professionals to do the essentials.
Sales are usually speedy
The sales will usually go more quickly. However, if you feel too rushed or uncertain in any way, it is best to back off.
Use these factors to help you decide whether a foreclosed property is right for you.
