Women Landlord safety

[Sara Peak]

For the women out there that actively manage properties: how do you feel secure and safe meeting potential tenants and showing the property? I am purchasing a property in a pretty decent area and I don't imagine problems. However, I do have hesitation showing the property alone. Other than buying in a "safe" area, screening potential tenants, and potentially not going alone (which is cumbersome) how do you combat this barrier?
