A non-citizen can own real estate in the U.S. They can even mortgage it if they need to. That having been said, there are certain matters that must be taken into consideration. For example, they would need an individual Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to use with all their transactions. Their best bet is to consult directly with a local real estate attorney for further information.
