Any Advice on our site and how we do things?
Thats our site for our rentals. We used to have a application fee of $40 just to run their application after they apply then we schedule a tour and if they like it they would let us know and we would then charge send them a background check/credit check for another $40 to do. Then We had complaints of people having to pay before seeing the property but still worked out decent. So we decide to do away with the application fee and schedule tours with anyone who applies. I'm back to where i was before. A lot of wasted time with tours and emails. We also post with zillow with our link cozy our facebook page and craigslist. Seems like a lot of wasted time with everything going on again and keeping up with it. How does are system look? I'm thinking about adding the fee after they apply like before. So once payed we reach out to them. Trying to make this as easy on my wife and me as possible. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you

@Joshua D. If your communication style with potential renters is similar to the post you made, it is difficult for me to follow the line of conversation and the direction it is going as I read it. It is probably difficult for your potential tenants to understand as well.
