My list was rankings by dollar amount and number closed Nationwide for past four quarters for NON QM lenders that do DSCR.

Plaintiff's attorneys normally cast a wide net to start to take inventory of what insurance may be available and the property owner is the easiest to identify since deeds are public.

You won't be forced to de-convert unless you have violations...eventually the city will start fining you.Very critical terms are non-conforming (no violations - grandfathered in) vs. illegal (violations)...

Commercial zoning would be okay as long as the property is considered LEGAL but non conforming. 

The houses they buy are in non-flood zone.

It potentially can be possible if you provide your capital to a fund who operates as a private lender.You would have to be a non-managing member in an LLC or an LP in a Partnership.Therefore, you would have no say in items such as who to lend the money to, at what rates, etc.Best of luck

I went into two of my listings (one with a flexible cancellation policy and one with non-refundable) and it is pretty clear what the terms are BEFORE booking.  

You could either de-convert the basement before purchase, buy with plans for de-conversion, or leave it as non-living space.
