Which comes first, property or llc?

[Pj Smitherman]

So ive been dragging my feet to get My real eastate company off the ground. Ive looked at a few properties but im worried about the risk of buying it in my personal name first. Or should i get an llc formed first? ive been told both ways. My dad has a good bit of properties and mentioned i could just buy one and add it to that portfolio but i think id rather do my own for my kids. Whats your opinion, 

Second question. How solid is legal zoom llc's in real estate?
