Real estate developments are full of uncertainty such as variation in the market, finance, construction and government regulations. For example, fluctuations in demand and value due to economical situations or population change may pose a considerable risk (market). Financial risks are inclusive of cost overruns, interest rate changes among others while regulatory/legal hurdles entail obtaining permits through zoning laws up to potential litigation matters. Delays in completion timeframes material shortage concerns together with budget matters constitute some examples under construction risk category.

On the other hand it’s worth noting that real estates also bring forth advantages which are; profitability potentiality, diversification of portfolios, being your own boss and creating wealth too. Besides earning money from appreciation in property values or even rental incomes realized after completion successful projects can be sold off for lump sum profits. Moreover investors have an opportunity to create spaces that meet their desires as well attract tenants who will pay good rents thereby maximizing returns on investment.
