Yes, foreigners can buy property in California. There are no citizenship or residency restrictions. You’ll need a U.S. tax ID (ITIN) and may face higher down payment requirements if financing. Also you'll need to be aware of potential tax implications like FIRPTA when selling. You can hold title in your name or through an entity.
