Help me make a comprehensive list of all the tax benefits of owning rental real estate!

So far I have:

-Depreciation =deduct home price (divided by 27.5) from your income, rental for active income

-Rental income is taxed less than active income (what is it, like 15%)

-Ability to set up corporation to pay less taxes (would this be the 7.5 ssn, or are there others), deduct all expenses related to business activities (gas driving to rentals, CPA/Attorney fees, home office possibly, etc.)

-Deduction of expenses & mngt fees from rentals 

-Deduction of mortgage int paid & lending costs 

-Additional tax sheltering if investing through a SDIRA or 401(k)

-1031 exchange, pay no capital gains if investing money made into another RE deal (possibly the very best tax benefit only available in the US)!!

WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING??
