1st Time Landlord needs help

[Wes Shaw]

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I just closed on my first rental last week. The sellers move out in 3 days. My wife and I went ahead and posted the house on the community facebook page a few hours ago and got tons of responses back. I have already set up 3 showings and probably feel like I can set up another 4 or 5. My question is how do you fairly choose your tenants? I understand that the background check, etc.... may cull out a few of them, but all things being equal do you guys go by feel or priority based on the order they contacted you? Would love to hear any advice. Thanks in advance.
