Easier to Foreclose than to Evict or No?

So as you may have gathered from earlier posts, my wife is going to inherit some rental properties once the estate of her father settles. We are looking at the best way to handle some of these properties. The idea I had on one of the SFR was rather than keep renting it to the people currently living there we could do a owner financed sale instead. There are some deferred maintenance issues there that we'd rather not deal with, and the tenants seem like they might be agreeable to that kind of arrangement.

My question is, if set up as an owner financed sale, if the mortgage isn't paid timely, is it easier or more difficult to foreclose than it is to evict?  I'm in Pennsylvania if that helps.
