Explanation / Answer

All of the above, because real estate is a sector which bears almost the majority of risks, which emerge from economic factors to operational to environment.

For Example: - Once you invest in real-estate, the liquidity goes away and at the same it raises concern from increases in interest rates, property prices (fluctuate from environment or legislative changes). It also involves financial risk, and business risk, because when your interest rates rises, it becomes costly to finance the real-estate investments.
