It's not high risk. It does not depend on prices going up. It depends on renters paying most or all of your mortgage. It just runs itself if you get good renters. That's where you put all the time and effort upfront. Yes it has some risk. All investments do. I answered the question about how you get on the property ladder if you can't afford local prices. There might be other ways too.
