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.
