High-risk real estate speculating and investing is like walking a tightrope.\u00a0 It\u2019s not for everyone. If you are a risk-averse person and investor, here are some guidelines to keep you on a more conservative path:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Avoid highly volatile real estate.<\/strong> Don\u2019t be lured into recession-prone properties such as hotels, senior housing, and oil\/gas properties.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t take on too much debt.<\/strong> It\u2019s tempting to borrow against real estate holdings and frequently done to minimize equity investment while loading up properties. But while there are benefits to leverage, there is also risk from leverage.<\/li>\n
  3. Diversify.<\/strong>\u00a0 instead of one large commercial property, why not\u00a0 12 different smaller properties. While diversification does not guarantee profits or protection against losses, it\u2019s just as prudent to diversify real estate portfolios as it is to diversify stock portfolios.<\/li>\n
  4. Invest with like-minded risk-takers.<\/strong> By pooling resources and talent, you can expand your investment capability while minimizing risk.\u00a0 Look for\u00a0 investors with similar goals and appetites for risk. It\u2019s not mutually exclusive to be a private equity real estate investor and a co-investor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To be sure, all investments carry risk, be they stocks, bonds or hard assets like real estate. It\u2019s important for you to determine just how much risk you can tolerate based on\u00a0 your finances and personality.<\/p>\n
