Can a Canadian buy a house in the States?

You can definitely buy a house. Right now, Canadians are very active in many major U.S. real estate markets, including California, Florida, and New York. As to financing, it depends on what, if any, your immigration status in the U.S. is. If you have a green card or are an H-1 worker and thus have a U.S. Social Security number and verifiable income in the U.S., American bankers most likely won’t care if you are a U.S. citizen or not. If not, your best bet is to seek financing in Canada from a large bank that does a lot of business in the U.S.

Note also that there are at least two groups of issues you need to consider: taxation and the impact on your immigration status. Each is a complicated topic, so be sure you understand what you’re getting yourself into…

probably. . . . you will have to check with the local authority in the area you seek to buy the home.

yes probly not with credit though
