@Yasir Rahman, it's very simple to invest in the USA, compared to many other countries.

The basics are:

Set up an LLC , (Limited liability company), if you want some asset protection.

Obtain an EIN, (tax number) for the LLC.

Apply for an ITIN (personal tax number).

Open a bank account.

(Get an accountant)

Buy a property.

It really is that simple. America has no foreign investor regulations preventing ownership.  There are some tax things to be aware of but your US accountant can advise on those.
