Delvon,

Depends on what type of commercial we are talking about. For example commercial office space is taking a beating because of coronavirus. However Multi-family apartments have done okay. 

Pros would be economies of scale for commercial, cons would be you need the experience or experience on your team to take on bigger deals. 

Pro's of residential, you can start small and learn as you go.  Cons: Picking the wrong property or the wrong location can wreck you.
