Possibilities for an international student to become a wholesaler

[Stephane Manzi]

Hello all, so glad to finally be a part of this community.

I’m an international student and I’ve lived in the US for about 6 years, I’m looking forward to start investing in real estate; I think wholesaling is the best strategy for me to start on since I don’t have enough capital or credit to invest in a property, however there is a lot of rules concerning what international students are allowed to do when it comes to making money in the US and especially invest in real estate. I was wondering if there are restrictions that hinders international student to wholesale real estate? And if there is, what other real estate strategies would you recommend someone in my position?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Jerryll Noorden, Can a person on F-1 buy rental properties instead of wholesaling it?
