Hands off property management

[Tyler Davis]

Hello All!

I am looking for a way to make my process of placing a tenant a little less time consuming. Currently I find myself talking to folks that want to come check out the place, then scheduling a time and meeting them there to look at it. This can ultimately take up an entire day of showings where I feel like I wasted my time with tire kickers and unqualified people.

What I would like to do in the future is have prospective tenants fill out a FREE pre-screening application online, then I could approve/deny them. I would like to add a contractor lock box to the rental property and send the code to the approved prospective tenants as well as a time to look at it(self showing). If the tenant likes it I will send them an application to fill out and go from there. Does anyone have experience with doing it this way? Is it safe to do without the risk of someone stealing the key, leaving lights on, stealing anything?

If anyone has any suggestions how to make this process more smoothly that would be great! I would also like to know your process, thanks!

I am also looking for PM software that can do all this for me if anyone has suggestions.
