Wholesaling!!! As a nonimmigrant (F1 Visa)

Samuel Santos Borges

Hey everyone,

I'm a Brazilian grad who recently completed my studies in the US, and I'm currently on an OPT visa. Lately, I've been intrigued by the idea of wholesaling real estate as a way to earn some extra income. But, I'm a bit unsure about the whole legal side of things and if it's doable with my OPT status.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone here has some insights or experiences they could share. Can I actually go ahead with wholesale real estate while on OPT? Are there any rules or restrictions I should be aware of as an international grad in the US?

Your help would mean a lot and could steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance!

@Samuel Santos Borges

Buying and renting is considered investing - wholesaling is not. - if it’s not related to your field of study I wouldn’t do it.
