This is not a great return, but not terrible.As others noted, there are other risks, like having the property insured at full replacement or purchase price, or if the option is 100% seller financing with no money down or very little, versus 20% traditional down payment, this can start to move it into a better investment.

It's all about risk in the event of a lawsuit, which can also usually be covered by insurance.- If you decide to have an LLC for each property, creating a Management LLC that all the other LLCs "hire" to run their books, will allow you to only require a bank accont for the Management LLC.2) You may not be able to do a Trust.

There's a big swing here in insurance and tax calculations I see and getting those numbers accurate are critical for your ability to not miss on good deals

Second, the insurance is $1.5k which seems to be low as well. 

Another idea that we have been exploring is using the cash value of whole life insurance funds for emergencies.
