Legally, a resident alien, or even a nonresident alien, can buy a house. Getting a mortgage should also not be a problem. Mortgage lenders are more interested in work history and income than in citizenship. If you are constantly bopping in and out of the country, the mortgage lender may justifiably be concerned that you may leave and not pay off the mortgage. But as long as you have a stable local work history you're fine.

Never gave that one a thought, being an Urban Man. John Lennon resided at an Apartment House, albeit a very old and historic one, the Dakota. If they engaged in an occupation directly taking up real estate- for example Farming, there might be some problems with the USDA. Foodstuffs are certainly imported- like Bananas, but that is entirely different than the potential labor and food chain problems alien-owned farmsteads might pose. an excellent question. In some part of the Country- and this was long after the Civil War- people who lived or worked on farms ( probably exceptions for such things as tractor salesmen or repairmen) were Legally barred from changing jobs, unless they went into the Armed Forces. Down on the Farm can acquire a heavy burden. This is not quite the S trade, but very close.

If you mean a legal resident alien, yes. If you mean a legal resident of Arizona, yes. If you mean a legal resident of another state- THAT depends on which gun.
