Yes, Absolutely. Since Real Estate market has taken a downward spin in U.S, there are increasing number of Non-U.S Citizens who are buying Real Estate properties. However, Buying in U.S with foreign monies would have different tax implications than U.S. Citizens, so please check with your C.P.A before making a move.

Contact me if you have any Real Estate related questions.

Yes, foreign nationals may purchase real estate in the US. As a matter of fact, there is currently an increasing number of transactions involving foreign buyers in the United States.

The answer might be different if you're a resident of the US vs someone attempting to buy from abroad.

My understanding, as a permanent resident myself, is that I play by the same rules as a US citizen, following the same laws and paying the same taxes.
