Many people on an H1B visa wonder whether they can take part in side hustles like driving for Uber, listing on Airbnb, buying rental property, getting RU-vid ad revenue, investing in the stock market, etc. Here are 7 ways to earn upto $2000 every month, even as a beginner who has never done this before.
The first option is dividends. A dividend is a share of a company’s profits that are given out to shareholders. If you reinvest dividends and keep adding to your portfolio you can eventually build it out to a steady passive income source.
Second is Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). A REIT is a company that invests in income-generating real estate like apartments, malls or hospitals. This is an attractive option for Internationals who want a piece of the real estate market but don’t want to tie their capital down long term. They offer everyday investors indirect exposure to real estate, without the hassles of having to directly manage it.
Third is High Yield Savings Accounts. It pays 20 to 25 times the national average of a standard savings account and is typically online. This is one of the best places to store your emergency fund and stay ahead of inflation.
Try out Marcus HYSA here for bonus rates:
www.marcus.com...
Fourth is Turo which is a peer to peer car-sharing company. When you’re not using your vehicle, you can rent it out to other Turo members for some extra cash. It’s like Airbnb, but for cars.
Fifth is Carpooling through apps like Waze Carpool and Scoop. The reason carpooling is allowed is because these companies don’t actually pay you to drive, rather it's a reimbursement for expenses like gas, tolls, and parking. Here is the signup link for Waze if you want to get started:
waze.app.goo.g...
Sixth is Short Term Rentals through Airbnb and Vrbo. If you live in your own house or an apartment whose landlord allows this, this is a great option to make additional income. Make sure you don’t play an active role in managing the bookings.
Finally, we come to rental properties. Yes, you can invest in rental property, but you cannot quit your job and start a real estate business. If you find yourself spending too much time managing the property and tenants, a property manager is a good idea.
With that said, never overdo any of these to a point that it looks like an active job. With such a major focus on America’s Immigration program, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the authorities. Follow the rules and you could be making a sizable amount of extra income while you sleep even on an H1B visa.

Is it a good time to buy a house?
@FinancewithArjun
@FinancewithArjun 3 года назад
Hey Homa, with mortgage rates being at all time lows, now is an opportune time to look for a house. However, with the demand being high and not many sellers in the market, house prices have been quite high too. You also need to ensure you have a stable income during these difficult times in case things go wrong. If you've thought about all this and are able to find a fairly priced house, it would make sense.

You 100% have to report all the income you make on your tax forms. Turo should provide you with a 1099 form for this. You should ensure that you don't have any active involvement. Yes, that's my understanding about RU-vid too.

Hi Aish and Arjun, this is Kaustav and I am Tech Blogger and a "RU-vidr". First of all I want to thank you for putting this video on RU-vid and trust me its really helpful. But I have a different question like you guys have a RU-vid and I am also a blogger so any earning from "Google Adsense", or "Affiliate Marketing" will be considered as an "Unauthorized Work".?

Hi Kaustav, thanks a lot! :) We are not monetized since the answer to this question is unclear. Best to check with an immigration lawyer. Good luck with your blog and channel.

There is no definitive line as such. Anything that involves direct work like Uber, food delivery or another job is considered active whereas having less involvement like rental properties with management or investing in stocks is passive.
