First time landlord in Cleveland, should I start an LLC?

[Charlie McVan]

I am just starting out with my first rental. Hopeful to close in the coming weeks. As it relates to taxes/LLC. What suggestions does anyone have for setting up an LLC and filing taxes/etc. Obviously I will find a professional in this area, but curious what others have done and or any tips and tricks for someone who has never itemized or really filed/saved anything beyond normal tax returns. No write-offs, etc.
