I called a realtor in Houston from an internet search.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Similar to what others have said a Property Manager might be your best bet.

If you have a 2.4% rate on your first, a 2nd lien or HELOC is likely going to be your best bet to access the equity without incurring higher rates via a refinance. if you sell you wouldn't be buying a "second" property anymore.

Yes, there is a plethora of leases floating around the internet, but if you want to manage your property properly, it requires a lease agreement that fits the way you want to do business and helps you to cover costs, avoid liabilities, and increase revenue. 

If something goes sideways, I would be willing to bet 90% of these single owner LLCs formed for "asset protection" would be easily accused of piercing the corporate veil, and collapses the whole thing anyways.Depending on the state you are operating in, even if you use a Wyoming formed LLC, you will likely be required to register in the state you are operating in, which may require disclosure of that information you don't want to give up already - check to see what those states require for disclosures when registering a "foreign" LLC that is operating in the state.Literally no federal income tax benefits to where your LLC is registered. 

Searching on the internet mainly results in regular landlord insurance.

The good 'ol DUE ON SALE CLAUSE is TYPICALLY not what the internet (and the forum) makes it to be. 

Providing services is often more lucrative than investing on a small scale anyway.If providing services isn't your speed, your best bet will probably be to partner with someone.
