What is the risk of unemployment when investing in a property?
Investing in property does not guarantee a steady income, and there is a risk of not being able to find tenants, which could lead to a loss of rental income and potential financial strain. Additionally, property values can fluctuate, and if the market experiences a downturn, it may be challenging to sell the property at a profit. Economic factors, such as interest rates and job market conditions, can also impact the demand for rental properties, potentially increasing the risk of vacancies and financial instability.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.
