This is a good problem to have

Hello BP community!

I have a rental property that I just put on the market last Wednesday, and received some promising phone inquiries. I decided to schedule all of them to view the property yesterday afternoon, and I ended up getting three really good applications. I have not fully screened them yet, but these three are looking great on paper. So, in choosing my tenant, do I have to go with the applicant who showed up at the house first, or can I pick a different one that I have a better gut feeling about? Also, what is the verbiage I should use to let the other two know they did not get the house?
