In general, income from real property located in the United States that is owned by a nonresident alien is taxed at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate if it is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business
My suggestion is to own the Real Estate using a US LLC and elect the activity as us trade or business because in this way you can deduct a lot of expenses connected to the real estate and even use depreciation of it to have huge tax savings like other Americans are doing. This is a field I am currently studying and you would probably need the help of an accountant to do that.
1. What vehicles do you plan to use to invest.
2. Do the returns makes sense in current environment?
Depending on where and how much you invest high property taxes comes to mind if NY or CA is in scope 😕.
I would speak to a tax professional.

you personally will like this 🙂 - mining facility in huge trouble, the price is based on the valuation of land and buildings with significant discount, many options of alternative usage, very sensible investment even for non-believers, excellent risk/reward ratio for the convinced one
far from CA luckily
True but you're free to elect to have the income treated as effectively connected with US trade and business. You do so in your 1st tax return and no need even for an LLC. What you miss out on as a non-tax-resident is the standard deduction.
