Find out the physical condition of the house. 

Being a nurse, raises are often difficult to come by and the job itself is very taxing both emotionally and physically.

I wouldn't even consider moving forward without proof of a legit deed on the property, a full property inspection (by someone other than anyone with any relation to the seller), I would check tax records, I would confirm the tenant lease, and I would most certainly physically visit the property.I'd be shocked if this is a real thing and not a scam...

Having dealt with, physical, emotional and verbal abuse I was driven to finish.

You need to physically drive buy the property to determine the condition.

Curious if anyone has some advice or ideas of practical steps to take to make that less stressful for me now and of course easy for her to deal with should the worst happen.A physical list of numbers/people to call such as tenants or handymen?

During which time you would have had to demonstrate continuous and unopposed, or “open and notorious,” physical possession of it.
