Holding a property in a trust

[Brian Dickerson]

Hi guys,

We are looking to acquire some properties in NY using a conventional mortgage.  After closing I want to quit claim the property to a trust.  I know NY isn't a state that officially recognizes land trusts, but Florida is.  Can I use a FL land trust to hold the NY based properties?  IF not, what is the best way you'd recommend to create some asset protection here?
