Starting as a new investor in America... But I got stuck...!

[PJ Boxel]

I have a problem! I want to start investing in the American real estate market, but I already face myself with the problem of an ITIN number request..

I am from the Netherlands and have no income from the USA (yet). I did some research and the first thing I found, was that I NEED an ITIN number to get started and to buy a property. But in order to get an ITIN number, you need some sort of income from the USA that are TAX related or you need a business. 

I was thinking about an LLC as a solution. Is it always this hard for new foreign investors to get this tax number? It looks like a dilemma to me..

is there any personal financial advisor, broker or investor who can help me?

Am I missing something?
