LLCs tend to be beneficial for financing options if using hard money as it can be required depending on the program.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: I’m exploring strategies to scale my real estate portfolio given the current mortgage rate Not sure much makes sense at 11%...Ouch....tough enough at 7.5%   Might have to put more than 20% down to finance....maybe 30% in North Texas.   

You may also want to look into 2-4 units as those are the easiest to finance and help you grow faster.

Turning the property quickly (you have to run it like an F1 pit crew)4.

I also think of property locations and property conditions having different classifications. 

Their Goal - sell us this property seller finance. 

Wealth is created much faster with financing (OPM).Continued success!

I own 4 rental properties and a small strip mall in the Baltimore area
