Stay financially disciplined and plan for unexpected expenses.

I would recommend finding an attorney over Anderson or Prime (have heard mixed reviews about them) if you decide you want to get an LLC.The reason for Wyoming is that you get a registered agent and a virtual business address for anonymity and no one can track you down (e.g. tenant trying to sue you, if you're at fault in a car accident and the other party is trying to sue you).

Any additional info about your experience with a recent conversion, unexpected cost, and potential timelines you would like to share would also be greatly welcomed!

Most of the frustrations seem to come from the unexpected stuff that pops up, but good systems, processes, and teams take out a lot of the sting when things come up.
