Need Ideas.

[Maryann L.]

I had an open house last week after I did a $100 price reduction on my rent. I had 7 people show up. Three that I really liked and 6 took applications. I pre-screened one applicant already.

Out of the three I liked NONE applied. One woman said she was getting it right back to me and even emailed me to ask me for an electronic copy then NOTHING....

This seems to be the norm lately. I've seen other posts about charging an "application fee" but no one in my area does that so I feel it would drive away people..the funny thing is if I dont' get an application returned I can't really charge a FEE.

I'm doing another open house next weekend but if anyone has feedback on what I can do differently, I'd appreciate it. :D
