Guidance on filling first vacancy
I just rehabbed one of my 2 properties that I manage. I inherited tenants for both so this is my first time filling a vacancy. I decided to use RentRedi for management. I was able to easily get my listing out. I'm getting a lot of queries (probably 95%) from Zillow. I quickly reply with a link to instructions on how to fill out the pre-qualification form. Of the 29 queries, 6 have filled out the pre-qualification form. I've accepted 3 and shown 3. That has happened in only 6 days.. Does that seem like a normal response rate? Part of me feels like that is the purpose of the pre-qualification form--to deter them from a showing since, based on the questions (income, record, pets, etc), they should know whether they're going to be approved. But part of me is wondering if I should reach out more. I've started to also text them in case things are getting lost in spam folder. I believe the property is reasonably priced and is all brand new inside. Your thoughts?
