Pennsylvania + Philadelphia / Evictions = Sucks!

Holy cow!  How long does it take to get a non-paying tenant out in PA?  I bought an occupied property and the tenant has been fighting their eviction for over a year now.  I have an attorney and everything.  Finally down to #18 on the sherifs lockout list, thank God. 

Advice?  Similar story?

@Angie Williams  just curious why would you invest in an area where you had to deal with this type of tenant base.. ??? Is the juice worth the squeeze... ? 

We go through this but only on repositioning plays with HUGE upside.. I would me personally never do this for a simple cash flow rental.. got to be a better way or area..
