@Caryn FischerI agree with Jaron, you should definitely have a consultation with your tax accountant and/or financial planner before you do anything. 

It might take a large financial institution with capital for “brainpower” and marketing, and financial and reputation strength to design as well as create a trading market for this type of security. 

I'm eager to learn about how to find and fund properties that help my family financially and my community with affordable/reasonable dwellings for young families and newlyweds.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

The cash flow that you need to achieve should be based off the rest of your portfolio and your financial situation as a whole.

Any guidance is appreciated and I know it's not tax nor financial advice, just your thoughts.

I look forward to learning everything there is to gaining financial freedom and becoming an investor. 

I want to preface this by saying I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to real estate investing, but the more books and resources I consume, the more I find myself gravitating towards commercial real estate, specifically hotels!

I want to become really good at analyzing deals, and determine the markets I should focus on.Are there any resources aside from this forum (books, journals, news publications, podcasts) that you recommend I use to learn more?

You'll want to put together a personal financial statement (basically lists of all your assets and liabilities) and have your tax returns ready.
