Are they actually doing to work or was this from a "project manager"?

The home you live in is NOT an investment...it is however your biggest cost.This is a simple math problem.If you put money in a property and leave it there, it is a negative number = Your cashIf you get money out of a project, it is a positive number = your profit or cash flowIf someone else puts the money in a project, it doesn't count as positive or negative = leveraged funds...unless, you have to pay for those funds = loan interest.However, if someone else pays for those "interest costs", they don't count as positive or negative = Cash flowJust apply all the cash moving in and out of your deal(s) to one of the above definitions, add (or subtract) all the numbers as indicated above, and you will see either a total that is positive...or negative.If it's positive, you are making money.  

But, unless they've been clear they're going to fight it all, I'd focus on the fastest path to getting them gone rather than trying to get all rent due.You've got bigger fish to fry with what sounds like a rehab project starting soon.

@Daniel Patterson I had to make it real simple or I would get paralysis by analysis.

Each deal/project is discussed, many of which state and local governments with a lot more money than Trump and his dad, failed miserably to deliver on time, or on budget.

And it sounds like you definitely need a new handyman - not wanting to work around mean people is no good explanation for late projects. 

Any recommendations for reasonable lawyers that could help me structure the agreement with my uncle to ensure all our bases are covered, it's optimized for taxes, and that he eventually gets the income he is due over time for selling the property to me.As you can see, I have many questions and I know this is a huge project, but I'm committed and I know it's an amazing opportunity. 

So it's basically just a matter of finding the right HML for what the project you're looking to do?

Beginning a renovation project on your home can be hard and confusing for people who are not a part of the construction industry; therefore, hiring a general contractor may not be the first priority.

And that will make 50 doors closed and pending for the year.I find a lot of small infill projects 1-12 doors for local builder/developers inside the City limits of Tampa.
