Now, the contractor is threatening to file a **lien** on the property, which could cause major delays and additional expenses.

We filed for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), what I believe is similar to the Netherlands BSN and Espana's NIE.

My question is when I file our taxes, will they count the purchase price from 2023?  

It amazes me how much random transient travel it gets(bowling tournaments, pawn shop remodels, manufacturing employees, traveling photographers, etc). 

Using a CA LLC owned by a WY LLC could preserve some benefits, like charging order protection, but doesn’t eliminate CA filing fees.

In a few of the states there is either a form. you must sign or an application that your escrow closer must file in order to exempt from any state taxes or withholdings that might normally be collected at sale . 

If a claim is filed and the property is owned through an LLC the individual members are less likely to be named in the complaint and that above all else keeps the members name out of the docket.

Guillaume I would not make too many LLCs unless you are aggressively buying property since you have to file taxes on every LLC.

I also tried biggerpockets/wheretostart, but for some reason the .xls would constantly keep opening skype files.

If they claim not to have seen your offer you file a complaint with the local board of realtors and also with the state's real estate commission.
