Inspired by the question below;

My wife is Spanish citizen. And I am of Turkish citizens. Will we face problems when moving in to Belgium and renting a starter home? Then starting up a company is next.

There are different aspects. Renting depends totally on yourself and the landlord. If both parties agree I do not see any issue. But there is a catch here. If you want to open a company and its headquarters will be addressed in the property you are renting you need to explicitly agree with your landlord or you might have big troubles afterwards.
Regarding your residency, you will need a Schengen visa to enter Belgium/EU. Once you found a roof you can start the residency process provided you have the marriage certificate apostilled and translated in local language(FR or NL or DE)
