Can you buy a property without being a resident though? From a quick search, I found a site stating that you must live in the house and cannot buy one for other reasons.

This contrasts wildly with anecdotes I read about with Chinese investors in places like Vancouver.

No, you must be resident. Every city has its own rules though, I only know those for Beijing. There could be some second/third tier cities where speculation by foreigners is possible.
