This is 5 mobile homes and one building being remodeled as a storage unit. 4 park owned homes and 1 tenant owned home.

So in the FWIW file what I see all the time is those trying to start out and getting the same returns as those with a lot of experience. you need to build your experience bucket and as you make your partners money U can adjust profit splits.. other wise I suspect nothing will happen unless of course you can tap your warm market that will do this because they like you.

For example, I looked at one tri-plex that had recently been remodeled with two units being 2/2 @1000 sq feet renting for $2,000 per unit and the third being a 2/1 renting for $1750 asking price of $850K. 

File a police report.

Most landlords will use the remodel clause to remove tenants if they dont want to sell.Just replace the kitchen and bathrooms.

There are many ways to attempt to collect your loss:  file a small claims complaint against them; get a judgement so you can garnish future wages/bank accounts - and the judgement will be recorded in the credit bureau. 

This is my first time and I'm buying a fixer upper that needs a new compressor, roof and a total kitchen remodel.

Based on your numbers, and assuming you have a credit score high enough and have never filed for BK, you shouldn't have an issue getting approved for an HML to buy/rehab the property that I would estimate at about $370k-$375k (which includes 100% of the rehab costs).

Would I pay for all the remodel expenses and then 50/50 split of profits or does contractor pay remodel cost?

Should this comp as new construction or remodel?
