Also do a name search on the assessors website to see how many other properties they own.

Not a great start, but the property alone is worth as much as I paid if I have to demo the house.  

I have read multiple real estate books, currently listening to every BP podcast (currently on #59), continuously searching for good deals, and check BP forums on a daily basis.  

I'm Derrick, I found this website through searching about Robert Kiyosaki, and thought that I should join this community because it seemed really active.

The idea in apartment complex or hotel searching is that you need to find something that you can immediately improve (then probably refinance).What should you be looking for exactly that lets you know you can improve this property right away?

They are paid up for rent for the month, the woman has moved out and the man and his children are still living there.

The easiest way to get there is to search "Canada" and the forum should be the first hit.If you're looking to meet other Toronto investors, let me know.

If, however, you made the payment at a local branch of the bank, the account would be considered paid on the date you made the payment, not the day your check cleared.

@Chris TroutnerHave you try to do a search on google?

I did a search and wasn't able to find anything in the public record about foreclosure filings or any related action taken.
