5 SFH Rental Properties on Resume?

I am aiming to make the move over from the architecture/GC (design build) side to work for a developer likely as a project manager or a development manager and am in the process of updating my resume. I just became a licensed architect recently so this is more of a mid career transition.
 

I do not have any career experience in real estate or development specifically. So I am looking to demonstrate experience in other ways via personal experience and RE finance certification etc.

What are people's thoughts on adding personal real estate experience to your resume? For example I have developed proformas for, acquired, gut rehabbed and successfully leased 5 rowhome properties on the side.

How do you think this would be viewed by a developer if I am applying for a proj./devp. manager role? Do you think this experience would be viewed as relevant or possibly laughable?
