No. Relinquishing a green card or changing INS status has no effect on the
right to own property or investments in this country. Of course, if there is a
Homeland Security issue involved, or if the kind of investment has specific
rules relating to property ownership, there could be an effect, but generally the
owner of such investments/property are aware of these restrictions.
