[WSBARP] Non-US Citizen Taking Title to Real Property

[Kary Krismer]

I believe any prohibition against them taking title would violate fair 
housing laws.

The only issue I'm aware of is possible FIRPTA withholding if they are 
not a proper non-citizen resident in the US at the time of a sale.  If 
anyone sees another issue, please post to list.
