<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1494018, member: 23626"]The risk with Real Estate comes from being under capitalized. When an area has a lot of foreclosures, investors scoop them up for underpriced rentals. But that drives the rents down as supply can become greater than demand. Property taxes, loan interest, etc can add up quickly. True, you can leverage a $200,000 property for a few thousand dollars if financed correctly. But there is that inherent danger of getting overextended as the meter keeps running, rented or not. Then it's hard to convert real estate into immediate cash.
