H1b - Rental Property - Opening an LLC

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi,

Me and My wife are currently on H1b. We own a house right now and are looking to buy another house. We are looking to rent the current house after moving into the new house. Could you please help me with the below Questions in this context:

1.) Is it okay for an H1b to Rent Houses? Are there any Tax related / Immigration related things that I may have to be aware of ?

2.) Can I open an LLC for the rental property? Is Opening an LLC a violation of H1b Laws?

Thank You.

As long as your H1B is valid, you can get additional legal income. Renting out your property is legal in that case. LLC? Dont open it on your wife’s name. You can on your name. But dont get paid to you/wife personally from that LLC.
