Renting out a house is not inherently illegal for an H-1B visa holder; however, the activity must be passive and not constitute unauthorized employment. H-1B holders can legally own rental property and receive income from it as long as they hire a property manager to handle all active management tasks. 

What is allowed:

• Owning Property: You can purchase property and earn rental income from it. 
• Passive Income: The key is that the rental income is considered passive. 
• Using a Property Manager: Hiring a property management company to handle day-to-day tasks like advertising, tenant screening, maintenance, and collecting rent is the standard practice for H-1B visa holders to ensure the income remains passive. 

What is not allowed: 

• Active Management:

  You cannot actively manage the rental property yourself, as this would be considered unauthorized employment and a violation of your H-1B visa's terms.
• Flipping Houses:

  Actively participating in buying and selling properties for profit can be seen as a business and may also be considered unauthorized employment.
• Unauthorized Employment:

  The H-1B visa is for employment with a specific sponsor, and engaging in activities that generate income beyond your authorized work is prohibited.

Aa twitter thread prakaram

visa tho sambadham lekunda konavachhu

manage cheyyakudadu - as this is a service which gets paid

So give to realtor for managing , if not they are hunting down the H1 folks for violation.

these ppl are proactively searching for people posting and trying to find their visa status.
