They are 3/2's in a cute safe neighborhood.

It looks peaceful, and it's on a cute street, but just wondering if it might be hard to get renters in there?  

Look for other like-minded people - realtors, wholesalers, etc - who know what you need and pay them a flat fee or a cut of the deal. like any other business. focus on the high $$ items and outsource the rest.

You could do this for a fee or maybe even a cut of the deal.

You'll ask them about a house and they'll say, "Oh, that house would make such a cute rental!"

But I want to structure the deal so that when we sell the properties I get a cut from whatever we make on the houses. 

They will also take a 5% preferred payment, meaning that I will not take a cut until they have 5% of their initial investment paid back to them, which we estimate to take about 4 months.

They saved up some money over a long period of time, found a cute house they wanted to buy as a rental, and then they stuck with it for 20, 30, or 40 years.

Help them find deals and get a cut.

Also, NO ONE will manage your properties like you do:(Suggest you make a list & prioritize what's important to you, with the understanding that only your Top 3-5 may acutally be addressed how you want them to be.
