The biggest difference would probably be financing. if you are getting a mortgage, generally speaking, it's likely that you will need to make a larger downpayment at a higher interest rate (assuming you have no properties or collateral within the continental US).
This can be overcome by partnering with a local, and they may be able to help get better terms for the loan. Furthermore, there are lenders who focus on helping foreign investors, often times specific to certain geographical areas. You may be able to get good terms from them.
