The starting point is whether foreigners may own property there at all. Some countries allow outright ownership of apartments yet limit agricultural land; in other places, the authorities require a locally registered company or a long-term lease in place of direct title. These rules change from time to time, so verify them before you commit, not from second-hand advice.
The second stage is due diligence on the property itself. A local lawyer you hire yourself should verify the registered title, existing charges, construction approvals and whether the vendor is actually the person entitled to sell. In a number of countries, unpaid utility bills transfer with the property, not the previous owner.
