Starting REI with an H1B visa
Anybody with an H1b who started REI? What are your restrictions? Can you do a BRRRR? Or just turnkeys? Thanks in advance!

There are a lot of posts on here that discuss how the issue isn't necessarily the presence of "restrictions" as much as it is a number of "hurdles", particularly those related to taxation and financing. Really the only "restriction" related to an H-1B is that one cannot be paid for skilled labor ("employment") other than what is outlined in their LCA/H-1B petition. Non-citizens are generally allowed to own property and generate income generated from passive investments. They just need to be careful with how everything is set up.
