My local credit union says that they recognize rental income after 1 year of land lording experience if I can produce full P&L for the property and documentation to support continued operations.

If you want to grow your portfolio, then put that money away towards your next down payment.To me, it makes sense to pay off the loan early only in a very specific situation: You don't want to grow your business any more, because you recognize that paying off your current loans will give you enough cash flow to meet your goals, and you can get there quicker by paying down the loans rather than using the profit to buy more property.
