If you have never been to Philadelphia or lived there, trying to invest there is going to be very hard unless you are planning to go multiple times to understand the block dynamics of the areas you are interested in.

Mailing is easy, and you are leaving people with a postcard or letter they can keep (I have had people call me 9 months after they received a postcard), but it can get expensive.

You can always request Medical Documentation: Request documentation of her medical situation and a letter from her doctor to make sure her condition will improve and ask if she is up for taking care of the property while she is recovering.Check Her References: Contact previous landlords for references to get a sense of her reliability as a tenant.Lease Terms: You can always start with a 6 month or a 1-year lease option if you have a good idea of her overall health condition.  

Often one block is fine and then the next is bad so it's definitely an area you want to visit and research closely before investing.

We sent old manager a formal letter stating she was not performing so we were hiring new management.

My mortgage lender said they aren't able to do this and sent a letter saying it's not possible.
