I'd send them a PDF of the contract, they sign it, scan it and email it back, and occasionally send it overnight mail.You can create a contract with signatures on separate copies.  

Hi All,As I continue to try and sharpen my RE game, I am going to solicit feedback on how people handle prospective tenants and the application process.Here's what I do, and I'm wondering if there is a better way:Prospective tenant likes the rental unit at the showing, fills out an application on site, submits their most recent pay stub and photo ID for scanning via smartphone (discussed via email as part of scheduling the appointment), signs a "deposit to hold" agreement (which gives me a 5 day right of rescission), and gives me one month's rent in cash as the deposit (which becomes first month's rent at lease signing).  

Based on a 2,000-calorie diet, the human body generates about 330 BTUs per hour of heat.

For documents or paperwork that I receive from someone, I immediately scan these into my cloud accounts using either my all-in-one(which scans anything to all of my cloud accounts), my iPhone or iPad(specific scanner app installed).

My response was to listen carefully to her objection, show empathy with my face and body language and to stay quiet.

After just a quick scan of the article, I think I'd opt for the criminal option.  

However, because I'm not an expert at cleaning up dead bodies, I'd ask your local crime scene clean up company what their opinion was.  

Pick any breed under 25 pounds and they could possibly bite you, but not rip off a body part.

What's great about using that service, is that the postman simply scans the priority mail envelope when he/she puts it in their box.  

Agree with @Nancy Curran  You can just email her the lease (if you've already vetted her) and have her scan the signature page and email it back to you.
