Where to store rental reserves?

We're going on 3 properties, and I'm wondering where others store their reserves for their rental properties? My general rule of thumb was 6 months of PITI, which I have in a savings account. As we go to 3 properties, this amount is now enough to purchase another property! So there has to be a better way to store this money.

So far I've been researching putting it into a:

high yield savings account, very boring, very low yield, very safe, and can be withdrawn quickly.

Mix of a stock/bonds in a taxable investment account, shoot for a 4-6% return. Better return, liquid, but if i needed the money, I'm taxed.

Infinite banking. My understanding is I could over time, fund the policy annually, have a cash balance I'm able to use right away, have an immediate death benefit, and it gains 4-6% growth, and I can take a loan against it.
