You can own rental properties even on H1B as long as you’re not actively managing them. So for eg; you can invest in properties have some property management company manage the properties.

Airbnb is also possible but the line is grey. You can Airbnb and not generate additional income I.e the income from Airbnb is covering mortgage and interest so you’re breaking even. Alternatively, if you generate additional income then you can have someone manage your Airbnb and that’s allowed.

Some desis who become citizens also own rental properties, Airbnb’s both in US and India. Few also start investing in hotels, commercial properties, etc

Stocks / Cryptos

I pre-clear everything before I buy - definitely not suggesting go all in - but diversify - in my case m heavy on stocks / crypto - plan to divest to real estate sometime next year.

401k, roth IRA, HSA max out every where then open brokerage account and invest for S&P 500 or other options for long term. If you plan to stay longer then buy house

Check on first 3 and house. Don't want greater exposure to stocks as both my wife and I invest a combined 50k each year through 401k and roth ira

Doge

Not very reliable for long term instead look for ETH, BTC or SOL
