Lots of good people out there that don't qualify for conventional mortgages that would treat the property better and fix it up, specially immigrants like myself.

Immigrants in lower income, in particular, can be very respectful and dependable renters if you screen them right.

On the other hand - high immigration levels, lack of housing and low interest rates starting to appear with 3's at the front are fuelling the growth.
