There are good associations out there for landlords (tip: join one!). There are also great books out there for landlords such as "Landlording in Canada", but here are a few points to consider: 1) Good credit; 2) Job security (steady jobs); 3) References (from employers and past landlords); 4) Long-term timeline (less wear and tear).
