Is legal status required to own property in US?

If i have a temporary greencard and waiting to get the pemamnet green card (10 years) is it okay to own a property in US as i am looking to buy a house.

Answer 1

.   YOu can own a house.  You won't be able to get a mortgage without a Social Security card. Pay cash.

Answer 2

Yes you may buy property in the US without having to be a US citizen or resident, just contact your realtor, there is a form you have to fill out for foreigners, thats all you need.

Trust me, I know of several families in Europe and South America that have purchased land and homes all over the US.
