In most cases due to the transaction sizes, there's very little margin for these 3rd party vendors (particularly brokers, property managers and contractors).

Look at the application, start pricing third party flat fee services for each step.

You could get the 3rd party processing fee removed by working with a broker/lender that does in house processing.Seems you're being gouged for the appraisal review and admin fee...that's ridiculous. 

Even with those adjustments, 50% seems steep if you are sourcing out construction management and property management to 3rd parties.

If the eviction goes to court, then there is a record of that eviction on their file and it will make it harder for them to find another place to live (assuming the landlord does a background check).Not renewing the lease happens when either party decides they simply don't want to renew the lease. 

From there, it requires the ability to conduct underwriting the highest and best use of a planned project, which requires a pro forma built by the user or acquired from a competent 3rd party. 

You are right 100% Owen, the landlord will be listed as additional interested party NOT additional insured.

The broker is not a party to the sale. 

Late to the party here, but I'd be happy to connect with you and your friend!

Plus the part I like about insurance is their lawyers get involved and handle the legal issues with no cost to you.
