(I'm currently dealing with a lawsuit for wrongful death on one of my properties - fun right?)

You should ask questions of your insurance agent, broker, or “surplus line” broker or contact the California Department of Insurance at the toll-free number 1-800-927-4357 or internet website www.insurance.ca.gov.

This is probably the number 3 fear after public speaking and death. 

I can tell you that being around new construction the past 12 years, I would say 1/4 of the projects we have been apart from residential to commercial will experience delays to MFGs out of stock, HOAs changing their specs, Cities changing their specs, Weather 2-3Xs budgeted rain delays, Subcontractor injuries and death.....Then Hurricane Harvey in Houston are.....WOAH  major delays...I have seen it.We are happy to be providing funding to DCGI's BTR community members, many have gotten their applications in already and look forward to helping the rest of yall accomplish your real estate goals. 

That's a red flag for me.d) death by Google: I Google everything I can about the sponsor.

But the real kiss of death was their arrival and documentation (with photos) of the poor & inconsistent cleaning.

The government has essentially shoved the burden of homelessness on our shoulders, promising that we will get paid eventually, but they're not considering how costly, emotionally tolling, and time-consuming it will be when we have to sue for back-rent in civil court...all the while knowing that, realistically, we have little chance of getting anything back if the subtenants "can't pay" or are judgment proof. 

This is why the big corp builders or regionals control so much of the larger developmentsthe deals i funded are 34 lots 160 lots and 80 lots respectively and each of them have contracts on them by Toll and Lennar and one regional but they only close when we have permits in hand. 

He stated than an 80 year old woman will die off in 5 years TTD time till death.

I'm not sure about the potential for liability in a wrongful death suit if somebody is injured or killed in the fire, but definitely would not want to find out personally, nor would I want to live with that on my conscience.
