As U.S. citizens residing in Europe, we are required by the local tax code to hold the property in our personal name.

In my personal opinion, I think the return of 100% bonus (or at least expanding 179 a bit) is somewhat likely with the new administration, so it might be worth it to you to hold off on doing anything until things look a little bit more concrete.

It can certainly be done, but I'd recommend having a solid contractor on your team and holding a fair amount in reserves. 

  :)   Just kidding of course.Call the IRS business line 800-829-4933, put it on speaker and do something while holding for an hour.

It might have been bound but many insurance companies have put those new policies on hold if the purchase has not happened due to the disaster and letting the mortgagee(lender) know that the policy is on hold.

You must find a team with a long track record of experience that you can hold accountable.

Quote from @Robin Bryant: From an owner-agent perspective, investing in Section 8 properties with a buy-and-hold strategy can be a great way to build and grow your portfolio.

@Micah Cook It's not uncommon for investors to scale up their holdings by consolidating their portfolio.

Me and my wife have decided to sell our first duplex deal after 4 years of holding it we have built over 250k of equity wow ! 

Purchased as an asset sale in October 2019 as a buy/hold investment.
