Showing rental properties amid Coronavirus fear

[Paul Z.]

Hi everyone.

I have a rental house which is vacant. A relative has suggested me to pause showings to reduce my close contact with strangers, and avoid letting them touch things around the house. I can afford the mortgage payments if the house stays vacant.

I have thought of hiring a realtor to do the showings, but I prefer to meet and screen the tenants myself.

What do you suggest, and are fellow landlords cancelling showings?

Cheers,

Paul
