Mariah: Well, investors can benefit from potential rental income, property appreciation, and tax advantages like depreciation deductions.
Ruby: That’s good to know. Are there any risks involved?
Mariah: Yes, like with any investment, there are risks such as vacancies, property market fluctuations, and potential management issues.
Ruby: I see. So, it’s important to thoroughly research and understand the properties and the partnership structure before investing.
Mariah: Absolutely. It’s essential to assess the potential returns and risks carefully before committing any capital.
Ruby: Do real estate limited partnerships require a large investment?
