Look up evictions and then find contact info for the landlord? 

you need to ask yourself if you want to actually be a landlord, have you done it before on this scale?

We are going to kill three birds with one stone in that we will have a place to live, tenants will be paying for most of the mortgage, and we will gain some experience in investing and land lording.

I can get phone records of the subject, their friends and family, employers, address history, land lines, cell phones, judgements for 2 dollars a search and then full blow background checks for tenant screening for 12 dollars. 

I tried to bring my business over to Investors bank and when I called and spoke to one of their business bankers and explained that I am a landlord with over 10 units and looking to grow, the rep was not interested at all in helping and was very abrupt.They are not the bank for real estate investors.

It'll be my first rental, so I'm trying to gather as many landlording tips as possible. 

The previous landlord hired an attorney and they delay the case for two years with multiple bankruptcies on the eve of unlawful detainer trial. 

Note I will be putting the land as well as cash to equal %20 (or more if required.) in order to get good terms.Thanks in Advance!

For example, in Toronto, there is very little developable land available.

Most tenants have the belief landlords do not take collections seriously, rightly so, and will not peruse them for payment.
