Application/ Property Viewings
Wondering how others do the application process. Do you require an application and screening before showing the property to save time with tenants that do not qualify?
Is there a faster method then sending applications to individual tenants in response to their request to see the property? Especially interested in advice when advertising and managing on separate platforms like zillow/ rentredi.
Thanks in advance!

Many prospects are hesitant to pay application fees without seeing the property first. From experience, a good number of those who apply without viewing the property tend to rush the process and may try to hide disqualifying factors.
I recommend sharing your screening criteria and fees with prospects before arranging a showing/applying. This approach helps them grasp the requirements in advance and provides an opportunity to address any concerns they may have.
