Income Potential: Rental income from real estate can provide a steady stream of passive income, which can be particularly attractive for retirement planning or supplementing other income sources.While your family member raised valid concerns about the risks and expenses associated with real estate investing, it's important to weigh these against the potential benefits and your own investment goals.

The location of the property is the most important factor.Look for properties where you can add value over time and aim for deals that leave you with some equity in the property.

Things to think about include how the market is doing, your own money situation, what you aim to achieve, and the kind of property and where it is.
