        "text": "Common pitfalls include underestimating operating expenses, overestimating rental income, neglecting proper due diligence, and failing to understand local market conditions. Not having a clear exit strategy or adequate reserves for unexpected repairs can also lead to issues. A practical tradeoff is that a higher-yield property might come with higher risks, such as a less stable tenant base or a less desirable location, requiring a careful balance.",
