Our family of 2 adults does about 3 loads of laundry per week (plus dry cleaning).

I wanted to take advantage of selling my property at a ~3% cap rate before thousands of new units hit the market, driving down rents, and the amount of money in the market place drying up.I am now searching to invest in several properties that add up to ~100 units in the Sacramento/Central Valley area of CA.

You need dry powder for a deal if it comes up.I've been punching my debt in the face for a few years, but I am content and the mortgages deserved it.  

Scenarios like the one above will bleed a business dry.

Is it just me or did inventory just dry up in the Chicagoland area?

However, as you'll see in this rather dry IRS publication https://www.irs.gov/publications/p590b/ch02.html, you can avoid this 10% tax if you use the amount over your contribution for qualified exception, including the purchase of a first home. 

It's a dry heat here. :)

We are developing a Commercial project next door and this is excess land that isn't very attractive for other commercial tenants due to the layout.

I use Polyurethane min wax super-fast drying gloss # 477929.

Both of these are like slightly less well off continuations of their neighboring suburbs, and don't have excessive amounts of blight or crime.2) I'd recommend a single family for your first investment.
