Hello,

My rental ad on Zillow rental manager did attract multiple prospective tenants but they fell under the following four categories:

1) Tenants with pets

2) Tenants who were bargaining a lot.

3)Tenants who had weak financials but willing to pay rent inspite of their income well below 3x

4) Few tenants whose profile good on surface but their phone numbers were flagged as "scam likeli"

I personally am not comfortable renting to all the four categories listed above so it has delayed finding a tenant for me besides I haven't been very aggressive pursuing tenants

as I had plans of selling .Now I have decided to postpone selling, what are the other best ways to find tenants quickly. Appreciate your inputs

Thanks
