How to structure short term rental ownership
I own several properties primarily for short term renting in different cities (San Antonio, Tampa, Pittsburgh). They are all in my personal name (deed and mortgage) however I have an LLC that I do business with and files taxes with. My question is should I quit claim all these properties to my one LLC? Should I get new LLC's for each property? Should I just get umbrella insurance to cover me under my one LLC? Whats the best course of action? And yes I plan on buying more property in 2025 and it may be in a new city/state. I appreciate any advice!

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
You have a mortgage and insurance. If you want another layer of protection get an umbrella policy.
You don't want to trigger the due on sale clause for a likely low interest mortgage.
Also if you aren't operating your LLC 100% you likely only have a false sense of security.
