How Many Applicants.....

[Charlie Moore]

- I allow up to 20 people to apply, before i select. 

- I do one day of an open house and choose the most qualified to my standards.

How do you do it?

[JD Martin]

First qualified applicant gets it. First come first serve. I care about three things:

1. Can they pay in full, on time, all the time?

2. Will they damage my property?

3. Will they cause trouble for me, the neighbors, the police?

Anyone who can run that gauntlet gets the house. We have criteria that we spell out on our website. 95% of applicants we have met and pre-screened. If someone will be an obvious PITA, we will hold their application, but beyond that "qualified" is a subjective term because you never know for sure who you're renting to until they've occupied the property. We have hard criteria (credit worthiness, criminal record, etc) but they have to pass the PITA test first.
