Direct answer

Concentration, over-leverage, illiquidity, interest-rate reset, and tenant-quality drift.

Expanded explanation

Most portfolio failures combine 2–3 of these simultaneously: over-leveraged single-market portfolio meets job-loss cycle plus rate reset.

Examples

  • 100% Phoenix + 85% LTV + 5/1 ARM = highest-risk profile.
