They can call the loan due and either have you refinance (which gives them cash they can deploy at higher rates) or foreclose (which gives them a high-equity property, easy sold, to then have cash to lend at higher rates).And I agree that an LLC per property, especially SFH, is overkill unless you have some really expensive houses.
