Are foreigners allowed to own property in Illinois?

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Illinois. Non-U.S. citizens are able to purchase real estate in the state, however, they must obtain a valid Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in order to complete the transaction. Additionally, they must also provide proof of foreign status, such as a passport or visa. It is important to note that foreign investors may be subject to additional taxes and fees, so it is important to consult with a qualified real estate attorney before making any purchases," wrote a member who made the move to Illinois.
