Renting out a house we own, is it best to just rent it out or is there any benefit to forming some kind of real estate company that it’s rented from? Is that even a thing? Pros / cons? Thank you!

Switch home owners insurance to a landlord insurance policy.

Get an umbrella insurance policy.

If you can move the title to an LLC, sure go ahead. This can be hard to do if you still have a mortgage. If you don’t have a mortgage, very simple to do.

Do short term rental owners also need to get landlord insurance to get coverage?

I like having mine in an LLC for privacy reasons. If the tenants cause code violations, your LLC will be cited as owner instead of you personally.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).
