Visit the property regularly to pick up mail, newsletters, etc and walk the property. 

I deposit funds in other people's accounts regularly and I get a receipt of what I deposited but no account balance.if you're concerned about it, create an account for deposits and then transfer the funds into your operating account so the balance never gets very big. 

Do I treat this as a regular type of rental investment?

Regularly doing your accounting, reviewing market rents & recently sold properties in your area, checking with your bank if there is anything they can do to lower the interest rate on a commercial loan or defer payments for a couple months if needed, reviewing your properties maintenance needs, etc.Being proactive & aware with your investments will in turn help protect them.

Those funds will many times meet or exceed their regular income. 

Then paint it with an oil-based kilz primer, then regular paint.

Can deduct unlimited real estate losses off regular wages, no income restrictions, and retroactively to 2018. 

If it was a deal that was larger than I am used to purchasing or included more units than I normally buy I would want to personally see it, but if they are the same type of properties that I have regularly been looking at and purchasing I would say viewing may not be the most important aspect.

@Michael YoderI cannot stress enough to have an HUD experienced agent, lender and title company as HUD has guidelines that are different from regular transcationsIn regards to your lender, make sure upfront that:-They have closed HUD transactions and are familiar with their funding process-Make sure the lender has a work around if you are not able to turn on utilities for the appraiser as this is the case with many HUDs
