One could argue that there are some tax savings because perhaps you could deduct some "general expenses" but I think the cost of establishing and maintaining an LLC might wash that benefit. 

@Ed Chamberland Why not do both: hire a bookkeeper that will establish and maintain a software up to date for you on a consulting basis.

They are a number of off market very well maintained properties (2 & 4 unit places) that I have been negotiating on in great neighborhoods.

They not only provide rentals to those who want them but they also inherently boost the economy by maintaining these homes and other associated expenses/taxes. 

houses are real easy to maintain and you don't have central heat and air to worry about and that is a biggee in many parts of the country.

Talk over the phone, develop a good relationship and think I have my go to handyman, I am stoked.

Good job maintaining control. 

To all police officers who are either Bigger Pockets members or may come by and view this, I want to give you a well deserved thank you.Thank you for putting your lives on the line every day to maintain order in our society.Thank you for dealing with the worst of society so that we don't have to.Thank you for evicting dangerous tenants for us.Thank you making sure we're ok when our car breaks down on the side of the road.Thank you for being on call 24/7 in case a weather event puts our lives in danger.Thank you for doing this and more for far less money than you deserve.

If you're particularly sensitive to it, I don't see any point in making yourself miserable over it.The other thing about smokers is that apart from a very rare few that are somehow able to maintain a habit of only a couple a day without it gradually becoming more, most of us are addicted to it to varying degrees.

This is an expensive property to maintain as it has a pool and three large oak trees.
