Getting discouraged :(

I need suggestions. I've shown my place to a number of applicants. I've got a small handful to apply. I had THREE people that I thought were a great fit that applied and then decided against it before lease signing. I'm coming up on a month of actively showing the unit and am not sure what to do.

Am I being TOO picky? I think it's priced right as we get a lot of showings and now we are getting qualified people, but I want that "right fit" for the building.

I feel like I've learned my lesson of just putting someone in there because we didn't want to go another month without someone.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

"I had THREE people that I thought were a great fit that applied and then decided against it before lease signing."

WHY???

You have to pull it out of them. Location,layout,rent price,length of lease,amount of deposit required,pets,etc.

One I would say is a quirky possible renter.3 pulling out is a TREND.
