Suggestions:1) get good rental property insurance that covers loss of rents for covered reasons: fires, etc; 2) be a good landlord and treat your tenants as customers you will reduce liabilities with an ounce of prevention; 3) Get umbrella insurance which also helps to covers your assets in a suit; 4) IF you get an LLC you must run it as a separate business or it will not provide you any protection (I'm not an attorney, but that's my understanding); meaning if you combine your business funds with your personal funds, they will be able to demonstrate it behaves as a straw company and really the courts should ignore it as a separate legal entity (my understanding of the risks).  5) LLCs can make lending/borrowing more difficult, until you want to borrow non-conforming loan funds (non-Freddie/Fannie) or you hit your 10-15 property limits with Freddie/Fannie, at which time you'll need to go to commercial lenders who will WANT the property/loan to be in an LLC.  6) As you grow your portfolio keep in mind conventional lenders will look at your DTI (debt to income) ratios.
