Best Beggining Avenue To Persue?

I am trying to get into the real estate market full time and would like some opinions on which avenue people feel would be the best to take. Currently I own one commercial property in which my business is located ( I own a full service restaurant), and it has 2 others store fonts. My problem is currently I work upwards of 15 hours a day 6 days a week in my business, and getting into real estate is may way to transition out of the other business (income supplement). I live in a market that does not present too many flipping opportunities, real estate values have been relatively low and did not take much of a hit during the down turn and population increase has remained steady at the level of construction. I have thought about residential rental properties, but most of the rental market is low-end and with my work schedule, I fear that it would be more of a headache than a revenue stream. I would like to venture into more commercial properties which have a good market here but obviously, the investment is a lot larger.
