A great investing opportunity that isn\u2019t great for everyoneReal estate investing is a commonly touted path to wealth. After you buy your first property, you can continue adding properties to your portfolio through leverage. While most people get their properties via 20% down payments, some people secure property ownership with down payments below 5%.Although real estate investing has helped many people retire, it\u2019s certainly not for everyone. Earlier, I wrote an article sharing the habits you need to become a successful real estate investor.That article has some hard truths about real estate and provides the foundation you need to become successful with this asset. However, this article will contain some of the downsides of real estate so you can invest accordingly.You shouldn\u2019t take this article as a dogma or anything like that. You can invest in real estate if it\u2019s for you, but you should know some of the reasons real estate isn\u2019t for everyone. That way, you can weigh the pros and cons rather than exclusively thinking about the end goal and how you\u2019ll get started.This is the main reason people stay away from real estate investing. Being a landlord is tough, and it\u2019s especially more difficult if you pick the wrong tenants.Some tenants may become squatters, wreck\/neglect your place, and call you every week with random problems. As you build up your real estate portfolio, you\u2019ll get more calls from tenants and have to make more trips in the process.Real estate turns into a business. Some people embrace the challenge, while others thought they were signing up for passive investing. You can hire a property manager to talk with tenants and handle problems instead, but you have to stay on top of that property manager.Approaching real estate as a passive investment will create problems later down the road.A\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
