im sorry to burst your bubble but it’s not easy to buy a house at this time. You need to establish some credit and with the mortgage crises now, its even harder to buy. I can give you more details on how to eventually owning a home if you like.
You might even have hard time renting at this moment without your employer help. you need to consider homestay for now, other than that, welcome to America, you will love it.
Good luck
