I need more advice
Just now I suddenly had an idea, the land left by the LA fire and SB-9 (SB-9 allows single-family residential lots to be split into two lots)
Is this a good opportunity?

How do you approach educating people on the realities of the business? 

Perhaps someone on here that is in the Buffalo area can recommend someone they use.

On the tenant side I replaced the breaker panel to a modern one and fully repainted the unit.

I took quite a break from buying properties and now on the hunt again.

.- at year 7 if value appreciated a lot, can i do a HELOC on it and use that HELOC to pay off the balloon - probably not due to lien being secondary etc on helocYes on the HELOC, but it would probably be easier just to refi and pay off the seller, and cash out more money too.Hope that helps and good luck!

The specifics usually depend on agreements with the tribal government.

With on market deals like this, there are two scenarios: 1) you see something that no one else sees OR 2) everyone else sees something you don't

I just stumbled upon it online and I’m trying to research it myself. 

This is the max that Sec8 will pay for any property and is the information that you can find online.
