Purchasing a new home
I have a question regarding buying property in the USA when entering as a K1. Although we havent started our K1 process yet I was wandering if it is possible for me (UK citizen) to buy a property in my name only when I arrive in the states after our marriage, and before the AOS. Someone once told me you have to be a US citizen to buy property is that true? The situation would be that I will have hopefully enough money from the sale of my property here in the UK and we planned on putting that into buying a house right off - no mortgage payments. We were gonna put the house on both joint names, and do a pre-nup to say that if anything should happen to the relationship and we split up I get what i paid for the house and any profit then is split. But I thought to make things easy would it be possible for me to buy the house and put it in my name only? But then would that cause problems at the AOS stage? Any advice would be appreciated :) oh and I will be moving to Columbus OHIO.
Thanking you in adnvance. Lina |

You can send karma to anyone, I sent yours because I liked your post. The more karma you have the more your karma is worth when you pass it on. ie my karma gave you two boxes, you're karma may not even fill a box as yet. Also you cannot karma the same person again for a while, you have to spread karma around. If you do a search for karma and look at the earliest posts you should get an idea. |

Re: Purchasing a new home
For sure you can buy any property but tax are higher for non resident. From my point of view, prenap and both names (title) are better plus tax saving plus you will have a prove of "your life together".
