My role aside from getting the deal done (finding the deal, due diligence, negotiations, legal, mortgage, management company, etc) will be to oversee the property and its operations (we will have a management company who will do most day to day stuff).For what its worth these investors are my girlfriends parents and I want to be fair in how we structure this.

Just be sure to communicate clearly with them what your expectations are for working with them, you role, their role etc.
