We built them personally over 5 years ago. Since they are rented all year long and we have never lived in them, what should we be expecting to pay in capitol gains? Also, can we take that profit and put it into something else within a certain time period without paying the tax? Thank you!

"...what should we be expecting to pay in capitol gains?"
Well, nobody here can provide any answer with precision since we don't know what your gain is or what tax bracket you'll be in when you prepare your income tax return.
Your gain will be long term, of course, but not all of the gain will be taxed at the statutory capital gains rates of:
The accumulated depreciation you've taken (or should have taken) over the last 5 years - which reduces your basis when calculating gain on sale - will be taxed as "depreciation recapture"; this will be your ordinary income tax rate up to a maximum 25 percent rate.
