Also if you have a partner that is family your first stop should be setting up an LLC or other documentation so that everyone knows what to expect before getting started, making money isn't worth getting into a feud with family over.

Energy efficient appliances are expected.

After years of a standard shower head, I expect some pressure and I feel like I’m drowning under one of those.

What do your tenants expect?

Based on the pictures, the repairs for 1 unit inside is way more than $5k that you expect. 

But you are also in a grey area where you will have to sacrifice something in your expectations.

I expect this to continue for a while.In the process of getting an average lot rent for the area.

You need a good source for local landlord tenant laws, a  reserve account for the unexpected, setup a payment tracking system, find a handyman, set expectations with your tenant about what constitutes a valid emergency, have the tenants sign a "walk through" list with photos of the condition of the house, make sure they have renter's insurance, 

Not sure if this may break the deal or not.I expect to run the management once I get the hang of it, for now happy to pay for the continuity of property management while I "figure it out" and eventually scale back the W2 job.Am I forgetting anything? 

Ask about part time and what their expectations of you would be.
