The problem with what you are suggesting, as I understand it, is that to record the deed that you receive into anything except a land trust WILL trigger the due on sale clause in most circumstances.
If you can’t record the deed, then the property is at risk of liens created by the owner of record.
If you don’t want to use the land trust, then a lease/option or possibly a land contract would be a better route.

I know people (including a real estate lawyer) that have deeded the property in their names, but it was strictly for immediate resale. I wouldn’t suggest it. All the very knowlegable people that i am familiar with use land trusts.
I don’t use the assignment of beneficial interest. The trust is created with my LLC as beneficial interest holder right off the bat.
