Hopefully this gives you some ideas that you can use as you decide how you would like to redeploy the money that you referenced above.

In this manual (which I assume could be modified to provide to tenants) I include all the financing information (which you would not include for tenants) bank accounts, mortgage accounts, payment information, and mortgage payoff), a list of the contractors, what each contractor does, a list of upcoming planned or necessary repairs, and a copy of all leases associated with the property.

Any suggestions for this? 

Buy a house using your parents' money, then manage it for them while living there.
