Hi Ratana,
I’m new to short term rental area and I’m also on H1b visa. I wanted to know, is it legal for H1b visa holders to do Airbnb and vrbo? If yes, what steps you took?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am currently on H1b visa too. Since we cannot earn active income but can build an LLC, you must have people work for your airbnb (ie. property manager) for it to be considered as passive income; that you are just the owner and investor. This is just based on my own research, I haven't done it myself. Make sure to consult your immigration lawyer before proceeding. Good luck, I will be happy to hear from you if you proceed with your plans!

I just started on my first STR. I am on H1b. And yes, it has to be managed by a PM.
Congrats Shuvrajit. I would like to connect as a new short term rental investor, I could use some clarification. Thanks
