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".

These 2 platforms don't focus on MTR but vacation rentals so using Furnished Finder is a better way to get those longer term folks.I have always been a bit concerned about the area's penchant for restrictions.

I don't know if SF County has restricted the AirBnb licenses.Jens

Many now and for many years now have had restrictions on rentals. 

But, there may be restrictions in the mortgage.

I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU."
