Good luck and keep baby stepping your way.

I know I am splitting hairs here, but accredited only offerings do not make someone better or worse than doing non-accredited offerings.Onto a part that I can speak to: Section 8 properties take more work than market rate offerings.  

I've known folks who were independently wealthy and intelligent to begin with, and wanted to pull their hair out after deciding to manage a flip.

Currently we have baby #2 due in 3 months so I don't think we have any goals of doing anything for another 6 months which gives us a lot of time to save up and research!

Water shortages in the west, Illegal immigrants, Baby Boomers aging to Assisted Living, Green global warming, Jail populations, etc. 

Target size strip malls, or office space, or NNN, or Pads, or etc...Or are you talking about things like a stand alone building with a hair salon, or similar in it along side of a major road.[2] What can you afford to do Down-payment-wise, in an MMA maybe only a 7/11 strip mall, in a medium sized area maybe a larger bite of the chocolate bar than the 7/11 mall.[3] Do you want partners on deals, (same on all, different on some), must you have partners on deals (loan qualifications, personal weak spots, etc...)[4] How will you swing the bat at financing; do you qualify for the financing your deals will need, will you need others to help you qualify, do you now these people vs risking someone who will make your life miserable and you will hate working with (an unfortunate situation). [5] Do you want to work government handout money for fix up real estate, is there any that looks profitable right now.[6] How well do you know commercial real estate "Stuff"; such as can you identify a 400 amp service panel from an 800 amp service panel, can you identify an electrical transformer that you own from those owned by the utility, what is a plenum, does your building have them, what are those big red pipes with wheel handles on them, hidden behind the bushes (who do they belong to), how long does asphalt last in a commercial lot, and etc...Good Luck!

I also like buy and holds and have an 11 month old baby girl.

But, if you have your newsletters printed, and you mail them, you could include a refrigerator magnet printed with a sports schedule, tips for baby sitters, or a local shopping directory of websites.

Lots of cash flow, great returns, but the headaches and management will make you tear your hair out.Understand what you're getting into and you'll make plenty of money, demand is there in almost every single market.

That being said, our plan is to refinance in 12-18 months to hopefully BRRRR this baby and pay off our HELOCs we are using to fund the downpayment and overage on build to suit costs.
