Hi Everyone,I am looking to get started with doing rental arbitrage with my cousin who is a Green Card holder, however, I am on a H1B Visa which restricts my ability to earn income "actively".

It's usually someone with a high W2 income buying a primary then doing Mid-Term or Short-Term Rentals with an ADU. 

Screen them as you normally would - does their income substantiate their portion of the rent +/- a little for changes in what the housing authority will pay out?

@Bailey RentzStessa is an excellent platform for tracking income and expenses for investors; it is user-friendly.

He started with me just after retirement and I recommend you look for a handyman who is retired because they are typically less expensive and as my guy likes to say, every day is a Saturday and that means they can get repairs done quickly.

once you graduate would your income go up?

Have we tried asking him if he is interested in steady monthly income backed by real estate?

They’re fully renovated (or in good condition) and often come with tenants already in place, so you can start making rental income right away. 

I'm a big fan of value-add opportunities, whether it's buying something currently undervalued & fixing it up to my standards, or buying something that has additional income opportunities that have yet to be incorporated. 

I'm also working on a Google Data Analyst certification to bring in some extra income while I'm home with our 19-month-old daughter.I'm still pretty new to this, though, and I'm not sure where to start or if I'm on the right track.
