Don't lose heart when showing your rental goes poorly

You have either been there or will be. You're at yet another showing for your rental and they aren't interested. You drove 30 minutes to get there to be let down the 30th time. 

HOWEVER you never know who you will show your home to and who they know. 

We had a guy call us on a unit we have been trying to rent for a few months. Said his buddy walked through it and he wanted to see it himself. 

Old veteran who is an amputee. Absolutely loved the home and is staying long term. Credit score over 750 in a c class area. No crime or evictions. Done! Moves in on Sunday. 

Don't lose heart and keep at it. You will be successful.

Another thing is don't always rent to your first qualified applicant.  Hold it for a few days, see if that applicant follows up with you with interest and keep fishing for another applicant.  I have missed several good potential tenants from being in a rush to rent.
