People not applying after positive tours

[Kyle Pierrehumbert]

Hey there. So I am working on placing a tenant in my first rental property. I had a ton of traction from potential tenants this past week, a total of 6 showings all with promising folks.

I have done simple pre-tour screenings to see if these people are worth my time and they are. I had 3 folks who said "Oh yeah I love the place, send me the application and I'll do it" and.... they go ghost on me.

Any thoughts on how to deal with this? I know my unit is priced competitively and the showings go great, I have gotten great feedback on the property. 

I am starting to get frustrated by some of these people who tell me one thing and then go silent.

This is just a numbers game. If you're sure your place is priced right, then you just gotta be patient and wait.....I know that is tough but you'll be glad you did later. Nothing worse than feeling desperate and renting to a bad tenant, that will cost you far more than a month's rent.....
