How long to find a tenant

[Pal Sa]

We are generally having a tough time finding tenants. We have listed our property a month ago. Every week, we do 5 to 10 showings. They seem excited at the showing and ask us to send an application and it does not go further.  Either their other applications get accepted or they are not interested. We used to ask for the last 3 paystubs, W2, bank statements along with the application. Now we stopped asking for those and are asking for only the last 3 pay stubs and a copy of ID along with the application.

Our house is clean, priced a little lower than comps, shows well, and has good amenities nearby. Appliances, flooring, rooms, closets, ventilation, parking, cleanliness, backyard, community, neighborhood, schools - I looked at every aspect and I can't find anything wrong. I think a few things are going on - maybe we need to make a few more changes, or we are still not in peak renting season or we are a brown family and there is some unconscious bias not in favor of us from non-brown tenants(all but one has been non-brown). In that case, I am thinking it is better to go with an agent to find the first tenant. 

I guess I wanted a place to speak out.
