Thoughts on Having the Current Tenant Show the Property?

[Katrina Cabral]

I'm out of state and wanting to PM my property but meeting applicants and showing the place is posing a stumbling block. Trying to find a way to do it and thought that I would ask my existing tenants to show the place. I'm planning to offer to pay them a few hundred dollars for the service. I would pre screen people and then set up one day a week for walk throughs. My tenants are happy and helpful so I'm hoping that it isn't a bad idea?

It sounds it may work. But make sure you pre screen the candidates carefully so that it can reduce the risk. Your candidates(potential tenant) can better observe the property. I think it is a good way. Maybe I will adopt it in the future.
