I'd like to find the proverbial little old lady making 1.5% in a bond fund, offer her 4% and create a win-win situation.

I know I can make it work.

Any advice appreciated.
Respectfully, your 4% isn't even close. There are firms out here doing second mortgages, buying foreclosures, etc... You'll need to double your return. At least.

By anyone's calculations, distressed RE is a high risk investment. Returns should reflect that.
