In terms of your grandfather living there as long as he's not the owner having a dwelling fire/rental property insurance policy is appropriate.As @Greg Scott pointed out he should have a renters insurance policy whether or not he's actually paying rent.In terms of liability coverage, that depends on what you have to protect so there's no one-size fits all approach.

But the very last thing I would do is put the whole $1 mil into real estate if that’s all you have.

I've got a single family home rented out in San Jose, CA and unfortunately my long term tenant has stopped paying rent and is ghosting me.
