Let's get started, my name is Alex and I'm a first generation immigrant that made my life harder just for the sake of it.

We're still researching, but we both like the Carolinas a lot for example (still not the cheapest to get into for sure, but much better and also seem to have steady growth & immigration into a lot of areas). 

@Aurora MartinezI wasn’t aware that you could get a two years tourist visa.I was under the impression that for that length that would be a non immigrant visa that still gives you some work authorization.

I am new immigrant, currently on work permit and soon would get my permanent residence.I have temporary status i cant buy any property easily , but i have some relatives since decades and they have good credit as well , I got an idea that i can use there credit to buy a property and i would take care of all the monthly payments and would take of the property as well .

One woman i know does owner financing for people with bad credit, immigrants, and self employed individuals.

I've had a lot of contact with undocumented immigrants over 10-15 years, and I think it's very fair for you to exclude her income (because who knows if she gets apprehended 2 weeks after move-in). 

I wouldn't let the immigration status of the wife stop you.

There are lot better options for recent immigrants without credit to buy a primary until they build up credit to refi.

There is some racial tension as well with a very high population of African Muslim immigrants in a very traditionally caucasian state.
