 A land trust can be very helpful. When you learn this you won't need an attorney. You may need an attorney to look over your paperwork for your state to make sure it is compliant..but you can put a property in a trust without an attorney. There are many twists and turns in regards to understanding a trust and it's function.  It is important to get this aspect under your belt. It helps with anonymity of who owns the property, and asset protection.   I use trusts also for properties I take subject to. 
 

It is important to get detailed information and follow up with it. The first one is the scariest to do. One ( I have taken a few..it is that important and that detailed)  of the land trust classes I attended the pages were already filled out on the samples and then I had the document in word doc file which is what  I used to replicate each one. Get a good land trust class under your belt. It is too much information to do it on your own. You really need a class and then you need the documents that you fill out when you are ready to take over a property and put in a trust.

You don't get penalized by IRS on how you hold title..You get tax credits based on income in and out of a property. A savvy bookkeeper and CPA are worth their weight in gold.

I know this is an old thread but i wanted to respond. If you find a seller that is attempting to sell but cannot offer owner financing. You never have to speak about interest. I have bought properties with owner finance and never paid interest. I never brought it up and neither did they. I told them what I could pay monthly and they were okay with that. Easy Peasy.
