First Motivated Seller...HELP!!

I have been marketing for wholesale leads for about a week, and I finally got a hit. Unfortunately, the house is out of state . I'm in Atlanta, and the home is in Harrisburg, PA. Here's what I do know:

1. The home is paid off

2. The owner has not lived in it in years (she's now in GA), and it's in "poor condition"

3. Homes in the area have recently sold for 57-94,000

4. According to tax assessor's site, they are two years behind in prop taxes.

In spite of what I do know, I am unable to properly assess the home from a distance. What do I do?
