I am an investor, self managing landlord, and GC, I specifically don't Want to get a realtor license so I’m not considered a real estate professional for tax designations so when I periodically sell something, I still qualify for long term capital gains.  

@Gino Barbaro is modestly not self promoting. 

@Cameron Peters @Zachary Critchett  A package containing your experience, personal financial statement and credit report, how the funds will be used and the exit strategy so the lender will be paid back, are all good starting points.

I don't think an insurance company could legally be able to be so therefore your liability should be contained within the bounds of anyone else doing the job.

@Joel Owens  to follow up this site is predominately landlord roof over your head site..its not a place where commercial developer dwell.and the friends of mine that are in commercial IE own a mall or  strip centers etc.. tend to be self financed more family office type money .. and then on the office space i tend to see bigger REITS and BIG family offices like Schoenstien from SF etc in our market.these companies dont know about BP and travel in different circles. not that there are not a lot of well to do BP members etc becasue there are.. just that its a niche space.. and as Joel pointed out this is predominantly roof over your head type investments for people to live in.. 

.$200 for a house I won't bother.I also do this in my self directed ROTH IRA with checkbook control.

That said you haven't lost out on any rent yet she's late not delinquent.She has a life threatening ailment that she didn't bring upon herself.You have a self-inflicted problem - you took out a mortgage that you don't seem to be able to afford without rent.She should do whatever she needs to do to survive.

Those who lack determination and self motivation need to do something else as this business is not for the weak hearted. 

(great for me is $400+ but that costs me 30-40% downpayment and self managing)

The reason why I got commercial financing was because the places weren't immediately livable (missing kitchen, bathroom etc) and conventional lenders wouldn't lend on the property.Note even though they're commercial, at least for me, about the same application process as a conventional loan: full doc, credit pull, personal guarantee.
