JF2354: 5 Risk Profiles In Multifamily Real Estate | Actively Passive Investing Show With Theo Hicks & Travis Watts
Today Theo and Travis will be sharing a list of 5 risk profiles in real estate. And while these risk profiles are the same for any real estate, the hosts will be focusing specifically on multifamily properties. The list ranges from A-list properties located in the country’s top markets that are considered to be cash flow properties to buildings that are considered to be high-risk investments. And while it’s important to invest within your risk tolerance, having the property be flagged as “high risk” may not mean that it’s a bad investment. Theo and Travis share their thoughts on what can make a risky investment attractive to a limited partner.
