As with all types of investment, there is some risk. However, in general real estate investments are less volatile than other forms of investment, for instance the stock market. Our Atlas team is trained to identity and inform you of risks associated with any and all potential investments and to advise you on what your options are.nnAtlas’ risk-calculating investment philosophy is based on positive cash flow generation before value appreciation. We also encourage clients to buy assets in the path of development or in strong neighborhoods. Our expert agents can let you know if the property you are considering fits these criteria. Finally, Atlas recommends all clients have enough capital reserve for a rainy day. Our experts will advise you as to how much capital reserve you need to have for your specific portfolio of properties.
