Asset Protection Question

I own a 4 unit building which are all currently rented, and am underway to buy another house. If I was to use a land trust and an llc, do I need to form this before I purchase this next property??? Should the LLC be on the purchase contract instead of my name?? Currently, the 4 unit is in my own name. Any way to convert this??? Thanks in advance
