In my experience, real estate becomes a “bad” investment only when approached without preparation or understanding. Market timing mistakes, overleveraging, and neglecting property maintenance can lead to losses. Real estate requires active management, patience, and awareness of local market trends. For some, the illiquidity — the inability to sell quickly — can be challenging. However, when investors focus on long-term fundamentals, real estate typically outperforms many other asset classes. The key is doing thorough research, working with experienced professionals, and treating it as a strategic investment rather than a speculative one.
