I have taken all my taxes and insurance out of escrow, and I run them through credit cards to rack up points, so I pay a lot of bills every year.3.

How much are you qualified to borrow and what will your monthly costs be for mortgage, insurance, taxes???

Something to consider is to convert the pre-tax funds/assets to Roth so you have tax free atm withdrawals at retirement.  

Then, at that point, why not just join the MLS for a few hundred dollars more and have access to comps and tax data?

I waive escrow on all my mortgages and pay taxes/insurance with cc, put repairs on cc, etc.

The portion allocated to qualified use is tax free. 

We also were able to get the property taxes reduced by filing a complaint with the county.

@Frank Dean Why would S8 use our tax dollars to pay higher than market rents?

After incorporating you'll want to then file for a tax exemption with the IRS.

When a child LLC (disregarded entity) is used to hold each property, and all of the tax reporting is done on the tax return of the parent entity, does each  individual child LLC need to file the BOI Report, or only the parent LLC?
