While some contractors work on a 1099 basis, I worked as a W-2 for safe harbor reasons (the IRS has vague rules about who is a contractor and who is an employee -- picking the wrong one can get expensive for the parties involved when the IRS disagrees with your choice).I also had to learn how to live on a lumpy income stream as a contractor (if the agency didn't have a project for me to work on [no "billable hours"], I didn't get a paycheck).

And it's a simple process to request to do business in your State as an Out-of-State business.I would also suggest you pick up a copy of Garrett's book: "How to Use LLC's and LP's" - it's awesome and breaks everything down for you.

It is simple and easy to begin the eviction process, and you can always stop it if tenant pays rent or moves out.
