Then charge for work done on the house like any contractor would, instead of rent for simply owning any old plot.
She's the one who hired contractors. You need someone who decides what work needs to be done, find the people who are qualified, and pay them.
Not all contractors do good work, she got scammed once by a guy who does crap labor and tries to upcharge to fix it. It happens
Even if she sold the houses, the person buying them would probably want a return on their investment and end up renting it out to people
The only way rent would be cheap is if there was a lot of supply of it, less restrictions on building like zoning, fewer fees on developers.

My mom is too old to wash dishes in a restaurant, it's really hard labor and she has carpal tunnel. She tried, it's just not something a 60+ year old person is fit to do. So she can't just sit on that money and do hard labor on the side. But drawing some plans and hiring contractors while painting some walls on her own time is something she can do
