I posted some of my investments in my profile to give you guys a better idea of the Montreal market :) - I do think Montreal will slowly** catch up to Toronto due to supply shortages, immigration influx (which won't ever decline since our provincial median age is the worst in the country), + the fact that it's an island puts a building cap on the market.

And i guess if there are any known future mandatory changes upgrades needed to meet any local / provincial bylaws...Thanks!

Where I am, they have to have carpets professionally cleaned on move out or they are changed (yes that is provincial regulations).

Additionally, there are federal and provincial regulations to which the note / mortgage must conform - we used one of the Big-5 bank's mortgage/note packages as a template.  

My main concern is  Provincial law on the matter.

Here our tax rate has actually gone down, but assessments have been climbing 3-5%/year ... as the Federal and Provincial governments download more and more on municipalities, they become more cash starved.

Time to learn your provincial landlord tenant regulations.

In some places you may be required to provide a reason if the applicant formally requests it - NB is a bit grey in its position here - so give your provincial residential tenancies act a thorough read.

@Graeme FordHere in NB (and also in NS) the provincial government lists all tax assessments and recent sales prices online though a portal.  

I am currently working for the provincial gov doing maintenance, as my long term goal is to self manage properties like my father did.
