First self managed property

[Account Closed]

Hey, previously I’ve had a property managers or all my single family homes, but I’m converting my first to self managed, and this property is out of town. My question is once I advertise this, should I require prescreening of tenants before they view the property? I have someone local who can show them, but it will cost me. Has anyone ever let people view the property with just a lockbox code, or does this just expose me to risk of someone squatting or messing up the place? Trying to make this as smooth as possible.

It also helps to include lots of high quality pictures in your listing.
