Sure can! You can: find a real estate agent specializing in international clients, research the market thoroughly, secure financing from a lender with foreign national mortgage programs, provide substantial documentation proving your income and assets, and expect to potentially pay a larger down payment due to your non-resident status; importantly, remember that anyone, regardless of citizenship, can legally purchase property in the United States, but obtaining a mortgage might be more challenging as a non-resident

Yes you can. You will need to get with a lender, realtor and title company. I would start with the lender in the area you want to buy in. Or, if you plan on paying cash, call a Realtor and discuss it with them. They should know an atty through the title company they use.
