Showing Properties with Lock Box?

[Richard York]

Hello,

I've recently purchased my first SFH investment property and am doing some rehabs before putting it on the market. I'm looking at options for property managers and was wondering if it's normal for PMs to put a lock box on properties and let prospective tenants visit on their own. Where I'm from this would never be done but perhaps in different parts of the country this might be normal practice? Any thoughts??
