Hi,

I am an international student holding F-1 visa.
I am thinking of purchasing a duplex to live in one side (so this is not solely an investment purpose) and rent out the other.
Will this be regarded as illegal?

As long as you are not performing any compensable services, you are not working in the U.S.
