I considered offering cleaning/hospitality services to other people in the area and creating a mini business with that, but I'm open to creative ideas to gain a flexible schedule with two young kids, aging parents and a business.

Chances are good that you will get bad ideas at such events. :)

I had a similar convo when I first brought up the idea too.

Any pitfalls to watch out for with tax basis, depreciation, or gift/estate complications down the road? 

Real life will fall in between these examples, but you get the idea.

You can play the stock market, mutual funds, etc.Or you can keep doing what you're doing buying quality assets and manage them effectively.You won't have a clear idea of what to do until you establish your why. 

Get an idea of what the insurance and taxes would cost before you submit an offer.
