To do it well you need very specialized expertise in abstruse things like capital account accounting, internal controls risk, cross collateralization, contingent liabilities, deal carve-outs, and many systemic risk patterns that by definition are impossible for the sponsor to design out without paying to pass this risk to a party who would charge more than the risk indemnification would cost.  

If you want something low maintenance with larger potential, it's self-storage, but that also takes a lot of research and knowledge to understand the prospective and projected metrics of the area and traffic patterns around the facility.

One flaw to this is contractors are not keen on working with investors and you will have a hard time continuing this pattern for each property you are “considering”.  

We've seen the pattern where our bookings are 80% 1-2 months in advance, I don't panic until about 3 weeks out to start adjusting rate. 

This investment needs to be held in a holistic portfolio and is subject to covariant risk/return patterns along with other financial instruments. 

Sure, there are always exceptions- who hasn't failed to notice an email here or there, but if its a pattern, find someone who has the time and energy to actually help you. 

If there is a felony, I would pay particular attention to whether there is a history there that would tend to make you think that it is a continuing pattern... related misdemeanors, common interactions with the police, etc.   

(Which if your brain follows the pattern interprets it as the third bad thing in the chain).It is like someone saying, I want to be wealthy, but not too wealthy.

Not sure if that is a pattern, or just luck, or if there is some bigger issue at work.   

Yard had salt and vinegar poured over it in a pattern saying bad words, etc.They won a huge judgement.
