Which tenant do I pick?

[Richard Arden]

I'm looking for some advice on screening and than choosing a Tenant.

I have a duplex that I am house hacking. I posted my rental online with 2 open house dates on Saturday and Tuesday. should I take all applications from those 2 days run background checks and pick the best Tenant. Or should I do them 1 by 1 in the order wich they are recieved and choose the first individual that meets my qualification standards?

I remember reading in a book that you should do them one by one and choose the first fully qualified individual to avoid potention legal issues.
