Scranton PA fires & other observations

[Roberto Westerband]

Hi BP world, 

I recently went to Scranton and saw some properties with potential for buy/hold cash flow, but I noticed a few things on my trip there and I'm wondering if anyone has/is investing in the area and their outlook:

1) There are lots of commercial vacancies in the area

2) It seems there have been quite a few fires recently, all of which seem to end up being arson

3) Anyone familiar with how the landlord/tenant court waiting period in the area is for worst case scenarios (i.e. evictions)?
