@Joel Lebovits the neighborhoods closer to the downtown area of Canton are more run down, with more vacant/distressed houses.The farther you drive away from downtown the nicer the houses get, in general.

If you want to scale using the BRRRR method I could send you a list of properties in terrible Philadelphia neighborhoods where you could easily complete the BRRRR and yes, you could theoretically "scale".
