Differentiating Oneself as Property Manager Vs. Owner

My husband and I recently purchase our first joint rental.  We purchased it in our own names due to the better rate offer from the bank. 

With that being said, I appreciate the advice that indicates to designate yourself as the manager rather than the owner to tenants.  

However, I'm wondering how to do this within the rental agreement itself.  One must state the tenants' information of course; however, it also indicates the the owner's name and address.  I would prefer they not have my name or address.  The address I can get around with a PO Box, but I was curious how others did it. 

Could I create an LLC just for the management of the properties, or would I need to have a formal property management business for that (licensing, insurance, etc) to do that?

Any advice is most appreciated.  Thank you!
