Is it better to diversify your portfolio in one geography, tenant base, style of property (SFH, Multifamily, Apartment). Or is it better to utilize different strategies? I would love to hear about your strategies of which you all used to effectively scale.

Does anyone have a template or method that they use in order to screen tenants effectively in order to reduce the risk of non payment and damage to the property? 

For regular tenants and/or section 8 tenants.

Hello BiggerPockets community!

Does anyone have any tips in regards to negotiating favorable terms in a deal?

I would like to sell a couple properties in the future, would I be able to use the 1031 strategy to buy one house that I would use as a primary residence? Would I be able to sell 10 houses in a package and use that to buy one house?

When it comes to determining the price to pay for a distressed property, how do you determine that? How do you know when you shouldn't pay more than the value for the land? How do you get the land assessment value?

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

I am curious as to if anyone is aware of any first time home buyers programs for buying the first Primary Residence.

I would have a house already but that is used as rental and I bought it using private lenders. Would I still be able to qualify for this?

I am about to buy my first property in Ohio and I would like to gain as much information as I can in regards to the different legal issues of which I can face in Ohio. In regards to tenants, to putting the house on Section 8, to the selling of the property. I would love to hear different perspectives.

What role does insurance play in protecting your investments. I would love to hear a story of someone where they explain how insurance has helped them with their property.

I am getting into out of state real estate investing this month and am curious to hear other perspectives.

When you buy a house, how does that impact your credit score? Is it dependent on how you get funding? If I were to do seller financing as opposed to FHA would it have a different impact?

How do you evaluate if a property is ideal for flipping or if you should keep it as a rental? I never understood why people would have a flip, boost the value by tens of thousands of dollars, then sell it as opposed to keeping the equity and putting a tenant in there. 

Is it situation based? I would like to get an opinion before I purchase my first property in about a month.
