Sending Reminders to Prospect Tenants

[Tony H.]

Hi BP, So, i just closed on a duplex earlier this month. One of the unit is occupied and I managed to get the tenant agreed on rent increase. Although not by much, because of the unit's condition. Anyhow, I listed the other side on zillow and got a boat load of interest. 105 people made an appt to come during showing. Only 9 actually showed up! All 9 put their name and email in the interest list and asked for applications. I send the application link (i use cozy.co) to them. Only 1 filled out and paid $40 themselves to get me copies of credit and background check report. Should i send the others reminder to get the application in? My agent said they might be hesitant to pay $40 upfront at cozy. I was like, that does not make sense. They have to pay anyway even if it were on paper. Is it okay to send them reminder? Or am i going to look desperate to fill the unit? Thanks,
