I have a few areas in mind. I

I thought the same thing smh  In my mind I said it's probably a family house, but if you're not going to take care of it, sell it to someone who will. 

@Mindy Jensen where's my virtual cork-board ;-) ), but here are some alternatives to get you started:Douglas Gray's "The Canadian Landlord's Guide" is a good starting volume.Steve Cohen and George Dube's "Legal, Tax and Accounting Strategies for the Canadian Real Estate Investor" is a must-have overview of how you buy, own, and dispose of your real estate and the implications of different strategies.    

Greetings BP Hive Mind! I

Thank you @Mindy Jensen.

The main question to my mind is what is the starting point.

Hello ok this is my first eviction and im a little confused Ok so i have been looking at a house right next to mine for a long time maby 1 year and it has ALWAYS been vacant and i finally won the home at a  foreclosure auction well no joke literally the next day after aution some people moved inside the home with there trucks in the driveway.. but i did not confront them because the deed was not in my possession so 1month later after i received the deed  i spoke to the man and we came to an agreement verbally no writing or papers that he would give me 500$ a month as rent keep in mind i have never entered the home so one month past and i went over to the man to collect rent and he told me he cannot pay me because the house needed serious repairs so i got frustrated  talking with him and told him to just leave i cannot repair the home while he is living there so i waited 1 week and the man still never left so i served an eviction notice and had to wait another  30days in order to file it to the court..well im going to court next week and was seeking advice do i demand a jury trial for the extra cost?

Also is there any natural disaster we should keep in mind, is the city investor friendly, is that area growing etc are some questions I have in mind.

Thanks Mindy..

In my mind I was thinking, "I will start saying it now, and will have time to do some research on how to find and analyze a good deal."
