Mark has a small business and he frequently dips into his savings to keep the firm afloat. He decides to invest all of his savings to maximize
his returns over the next 5 years. He has a low to moderate level of risk tolerance and invests all his savings in real estate.
Why is real estate not a productive choice of investment for Mark?
Real estate investments decrease in value over time.
Real estate is not a liquid investment option.
Real estate is the most liquid asset one can own.
Real estate has low marketability risk.
RATIONALE
Mark has a low financial risk tolerance. Investing all his savings into real estate is not a productive choice as real estate is not as liquid as other investment options. If Mark requires money for his firm, he might
not be able to convert his real estate investment to cash easily, which can have negative consequences. Therefore, he should opt for low- or moderate-risk investments.

Anton, who is 33 years old, wants to begin investing for retirement.
Julio wants to double his initial investment to pay off his mortgage quickly.
Hanna needs to start an emergency fund for her household.
Chloe wants to buy a large piece of land as an investment.
