I got an email today that the BOI requirement was on hold again since the fifth circuit reinstated the injunction today.

So in all, no real tough spots other than normal aside from not knowing you were required to hire an electrician, but that's unusual anyway.   

If you don't have a US-based bank account, I would get one as that's a requirement by most lenders.

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

@Eric Coats, to answer your specific questions, estimating expenses are pretty simple. 

The absence of a personal guarantee from any disqualified persons is still required, just as with third-party financing.

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

If local sales support the new value then you should not have to deal with the seasoning requirement.

Let's assume you accounted for all expenses and have a full $2,400 monthly cash flow.

This dragged the process out even longer, making it both exhausting and expensive—I’ve already spent nearly $10,000 in legal fees.
