INVESTORS ONLY: Are self showings a race to the bottom on your rent rate?

[Jr Miller]

Do you believe self-showings, where there is little to no human contact, (to build value in your unit or the PM company), until a tenant has paid an application fee, a race to the bottom on your rent rate?   ie: This weeks mark down is next weeks comp for the next PM.

Simply put. Do you believe the lack of human interaction building value on your rental is costing you showings, time-on-market, and rent rate?
