Land Trust and LLC for management?

[Angela Meraklis-Lyons]

I've heard multiple opinions on this matter, so which way do I go? 

I believe it was the podcast with Scott Smith (I could be wrong) who suggested naming an LLC the beneficiary of a trust. He was talking about revocable and irrevocable living trusts.

However, I've also heard and read about land trusts used to hold the property, while an LLC serves as the management/office co.

Which way do I go? 

To add an extra little twist, I live in PA, am looking to buy RE in Maryland, but am thinking about a Series LLC from Delaware. I don't think I need to begin with a Series LLC though, right?

Help!
