Screening is essencial as we have a high number of "educated" tenants and professional tenants in the province.Do not rent to anyone on any form of government assistance, the rent is not guaranteed, they are the highest risk tenants in the province and you can not collect when they default, the government has declared them to be a protected species.Join a local landlord association.

Plus, Detroit was the pillar of Michigan, while TR is not quite that for the province of Qc (without minimizing its importance) Makes sense?

The appreciation is limited as you say, but to be honest, the whole province is limited - excpet the major city of Halifax.  

Are your buy and holds in the same area, or spread out in different provinces?

Regardless of the cash bonus, I doubt they have the capacity to make it happen.I dont want this deal to go south, but to remove tenants is very difficult in my province, and he doesnt have a lease agreement with these tenants. 

I was looking at PG as well, seems the entire province of BC has had a huge run up.

In this instance, there is no 7-day grace and the landlord can still require the tenant to vacate after 15-days even if they pay their arrears.In either case, if the Notice is not rescinded and the tenant has not vacated by the 15th day, the landlord can call the sheriff to escort the tenant from the property.Within Canada, we have one of the more "neutral" eviction processes, there are other provinces where - either due to regulations or backlog - it is a long arduous process to rid oneself of a bad tenant ... the perfect breeding ground for professional tenants.

I want to buy condo units for less than market value by buying them from distressed owners and then renting it back to those same owners so they can continue living in their home and can avoid the challenge of finding something else to buy, or finding a comfortable place to rent.I'm in Ontario (Canada) and in my province Condo boards (HOAs) can unilaterally decide charge additional fees to fulfill the Condos obligations.

Do you have any advice for a beginner tying to invest out of province?

Because I have large temperature fluctuations in all months except July and August, I can only assume they will be flipping the thermostat from hot to cold, as night and day ..I had never written into the lease specifics for house temperatures (I never thought I would honestly see someone up a thermostat up that high lol), but I know in my province of Manitoba that during the winter, temperature must be room 21 Celsius during the day and a minimum of 18 Celsius at night.
