No, there is no citizenship eligibility just based on property purchase. You have to be a permanent resident for 5 years, of which at least of the time must be spent physically present in the US. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

You need to have necessary physical presence. As for the non resident status on your taxes: consult with an attorney.
