Finding tenants with a full time job

I have been browsing this site closely for about a year now and feel ready to buy my first investment property. I am currently working full-time. My strategy is to buy and hold. My question: how do you find time to show properties to prospective tenants if you work a normal day shift? I ask because I know I have always looked at places to rent during the daytime (9-5). If I don't get home from work until 5:00 PM, will this limit my capacity to show properties to prospective tenants enough that I should hire someone just to show the properties? Also, I work every fourth weekend (hospital) so this limits weekend showings by 1/4. From your experience, are most prospective tenants willing to see the property after dinner time? Any info regarding your individual solutions to this issue, or any advice in general on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
