Yeah, a good rental company might be a good option. I've done it myself the last year or so, and it's a major pain in the ass if you get bad tenants.
The Canadian housing market is pretty interesting to me. It seems that there are gains to be made in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Eastern provinces, but BC and Alberta definitely seem to be falling. One could come to a number of conclusions on that.....maybe the market was overpriced out West and underpriced out east, and the market is correcting itself. Or maybe there were too many speculators out here, and now they've all moved east. It's really quite fascinating.
Whatever the case, the housing crisis in Canada as a whole doesn't seem to be affected by the US crisis, which is strange to me because in the past wherever the US market goes so do we.
