Need a lawyer/registered agent for LLC registration

[Chris Krinslow]

Hello all,

Long time reader, first time poster. After months of research I have just purchased my first investment property (Single family home) in Kansas City, KS. I live out of state however (Texas) and I am looking to create an LLC for the property to be under before I rent it out.

Is this a good move? 

I don't plan on giving it out to a property management company (At least not yet) since it's only a single unit and I think I can make arrangements to assist the tenants in case something needs to be repaired or replaced. 

From what I've read, it's a good move to protect myself and my other assets (Bank account, home, etc) from potential lawsuits.

Can someone please recommend me a good registered agent/lawyer for the LLC formation?

And also - if possible, let me know the approximate cost I should be looking at for doing this?

Thank you very much!
