As far as the payment, you can set up a PO box at the local post office and have him/her send payment there, if you want to be discrete.

@Andrew PflegerThere's been multiple threads about goal setting, and I'm picking up you're in that mindset where you're thinking about units. 

I set aside a minimum of $5000 or 6 months PITI per property.

For protection, one of the way is , your uncle would need to get with attorney  and set up a trust.

She's lived there for over three months and hadn't set up her own utility accounts or paid her deposit.

If you don't mind me asking what do you mean by get set up on Collaboration?

Note: there are independent companies that encourage you to set up bi-weekly payment schedules with them on your thirty year mortgage.

The asset management fee can be a set price/year, but is more commonly a percentage of value. 

They don't only charge $7 a month per unit and the set up fee isn't too bad from what I remember

I have done that model and seen that model over the years.. one guys in INdy called Holdfolio did thisnot sure how it performed but chose the rights assets and proper management and that works.there was a guy in Ohio also that called him self MR> triple net.. he sold you a home then rented it back from you for a set fee then he leased it out in a master lease situation were he took care of everything.my model I used a debt instrument equity share model that basically worked like what your talking about but had a pref return no matter what was happening with the asset.. that put big onus on operator to perform..
