        "text": "Avoid over-improving the property beyond what local market rents can support, as this reduces your return on investment. Underestimating the budget or timeline are common issues, so always factor in a contingency. Another pitfall is neglecting necessary permits, which can lead to fines and rework. Finally, choosing overly trendy or high-maintenance materials can make the property less appealing to a wider tenant base and increase future repair costs.",
