*Give away* a piece of real estate that is a source of income for Uncle? Bwahahahaha! Not bloody likely in my family, either. Times are tough. It may be that his uncle actually needs the money from this rental property. Even if he cuts bf a break on the rent, there may be a limit to his generosity. I'd say it proves his uncle has a lot of faith in him. There's a few in my family I wouldn't rent to, because I'm pretty sure I'd eventually have to throw them out.
For people who have estranged themselves from their own family, your parents are acting pretty judge-y about other folk's lack of generosity.
