Yes, non citizens can own real property in the US.
Re: disclaimed deed
You should get a disclaimer deed. AZ is a community property state and anything purchased during the marriage is community property. That means that if you get divorced, she could be entitled to half the value or equity in the house.
I encourage you to contact an attorney to have one properly drafted so your interests are protected. Many firms, including the Wade Law Firm, will draft a disclaimer deed for you.
