Yes. I know many immigrants to the United States and many naturalized US citizens who are all from countries that are less affluent than this one. Some of them have been able to buy homes in their countries of origin due to the higher standard of living here coupled with the wider range of opportunities that allowed them the financial ability to afford real estate in both countries.

Mind you, I’m not referring to all the immigrants I know, just a few of them. I think that lumping large percentages of immigrants into one category as if they’re all great and glorious is just as short-sided as lumping large percentages of American citizens into one category as if we’re all lazy and uninspired.

Even though homeowners, including those who own more than one home, are found in more than one tax bracket? It’s not just the filthy rich or obscenely wealthy who own multiple homes, one example is the kind of people found in my answer above. A modest home without a lot of fanciness or frills in one of each country.
