Tenant pays “Frank -The Landlord LLC”, and the LLC elects method by which it’s taxed.
If the the LLC chooses to be taxed as a proprietor, or partnership then, when Frank the LLC pays Frank the Landlord, it’s done via capital distribution. The LLC itself is a disregard entity.
You do not want to turn it into salary, because salary is active income, subject to payroll, SS taxes, and rental income is passive, not subject to any such taxes.
I have a tax id (EIN#) for my single entity LLC that as one rental property in it. I am confused as how to file my taxes this year. Would I just file my personal tax return using Schedule E as I’ve done in the past or would I need to file a Schedule C instead? If I just do schedule E and file as myself I’m wondering where the LLC would fit in i.e. the Fed won’t see a return come in for my EIN#). Any advice?

Your income from a LLC goes on the same form it would go on if you didn’t have a LLC. With rental income it would go on a schedule E. A single entity LLC is not a taxable entity in itself.
So the tenants pay “Frank-The-Landlord, LLC” and that LLC pays Frank a salary?
Do I have correctly?
