You can also list those rentals in the MLS with a realtor and probably find quite a lot of traction, as there are many home buyers who sold their home and need a short term place to stay (1-6 months typically) until their new home build is completed and utilize their realtors to help them find something. 

You can also build your buyers list from there as well.

Time is your biggest friend when it comes to building wealth.
