Real Estate is Getting Riskier…and It’s Making Investors Wealthy

from BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast · host BiggerPockets

Real estate investing is riskier today than it has been in years—and that’s a good thing. If you invest in real estate, what do you hope for? Opportunities to buy low, sell high, and cash flow in the middle. That’s exactly what’s happening in 2025—and it’s these “riskier” times that have made millions of real estate investors wealthy in the past. But if you don’t know the risks, you could get hurt. Today, we’re explaining the biggest risks to real estate investing in 2025, how to mitigate all of them, and how to use them to your advantage, so in five years, everyone will wish they did what you did. This is a “risk-off” time in the market, meaning big, risky swings on problem properties have even greater downsides. That’s why we’re sharing what our “perfect” property criteria is for a housing market like this one. These homes are easier to find, rent, sell (if need be), and can be purchased at sizable discounts. And if you think just sitting on the sidelines is keeping you safe, think again. We’re sharing another risk that could be even more threatening to your wealth.  In This Episode We Cover The biggest risks of real estate investing in 2025 and how experts avoid them The single greatest financial risk to all Americans right now (and why investors won’t get hit) Our “perfect” property buy box for low-risk, higher-upside real estate investments  The properties you should avoid buying today (they’re far riskier than you think) Dave’s three investing tips that will keep you afloat (and cash flowing) even during turbulent real estate markets  And So Much More!
