Rental Showings - Do you prefer 1:1 or open house tours?

[Pamela Gordon]

Just starting showing my rental property about 1.5 weeks ago, by appointment only.  It seems like a nice gesture to have private tours for the potential tenants that show up, but it also takes a lot of time.  So what I did this past Saturday is scheduled a good bit of showings, so that I wouldn't have to keep making trips multiple days, but now I am thinking about scheduling an open house.

What are you experiences with either one?  Pros and or cons?

Thanks in advance,

Pam
