You do not need to have the American citizenship nor the famous Green card but you are required to provide a social security number (SSN), which is obligatory to fill in the tax return (that is only $100 for a property). Besides, it is highly recommended to purchase an insurance regarding the ownership title in order to be secured in case of potential recording error.
