The writers collected empirical data through the use of qualitative interviews with five private real estate companies. Conclusion: By analyzing collected empirical data against the background of theory, a conclusion has been reached which shows that real estate companies consider risks in different ways, but that future growth is often affected. Flexibility in the property portfolio is an opportunity for the companies to diversify their risks. The maturity structure of the loans and the loan-to-value ratio are also areas of application that real estate companies use to take risk into account. Furthermore, the conclusion is that real estate companies manage risk through operational optimization. but that is not the easiest thing for real estate companies. This is because the tenants' association has not proven to facilitate the work of the real estate companies.
