As far as doing work yourself on the property (either maintenance, or managing it), if it is a rental it can be considered working illegally in the US. I know it happens a lot, and I don’t know how often foreign landlords actually face significant consequences, but it is technically not permitted. If it’s a property for private use, then it isn’t an issue.
So as opendoor said, depending on the state the purchase isn’t very difficult. I owned in Arizona, it was not an issue at all. For taxes, you’ll need to file in both countries, so will likely need accountants that understand the process. And if you want to stay on the right side of things, then just make sure you have a management company that takes care of the unit. If you want to manage and maintain it yourself, just be aware of the risks.
