I recommend that people unable to get sufficient sun take one 2,000 IU vitamin D3 supplement each day, ideally with the largest meal of the day. In the northern hemisphere, below approximately 30° latitude, 15 minutes each day of midday sun on the forearms and face without sunblock should produce sufficient vitamin D for Caucasians under the age of 60. Those who have darker skin or who are older may require 30 minutes or more. Farther norther, at 40° latitude, the sun's rays are at such an angle during the months of November through February that vitamin D may not be produced. Above 50°, this "vitamin D winter" may extend for as long as 6 months of the year. [2015] - Michael Greger

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). You'll want to find a tenant who takes care of your investment and keeps it in good condition for you (hopefully very clean as well). Follow your gut instincts when picking tenants. If you have any doubts at all, it's not worth the risk. Once you secure the right tenant you'll want to increase the rent yearly where allowed.  [2021] - Shazia Virani
