Canadians! Transferring a property to an LLC?

For instance, for my first purchase, if I wanted to buy a duplex would I then, at any point, be able to transfer that duplex to an LLC if purchased with a mortgage? And how soon?

If not, what would be the best way to protect myself and the asset if a tenant were to sue? Would insurance be enough

@Nicholas Whiteside

As @Account Closed mentioned, you'll want to consult tax professionals on both sides of the border before you do anything.

Canada treats all US LLCs as C Corps without regard to how they are taxed in the US.

An LLC might not be the optimal entity.
