@Gail K. How long does it usually take you to find a tenant? Also what’s your minimum credit score for your requirements? I’ve mine set at 650. 

@Scott M. Thank you for your response! Yes, I’ve received 15 applications on Zillow where these individuals didn’t even request for a showing. Needless to say, they didn’t meet the rental requirements. 

Hi All - I’ve been reading a lot on the forum and learned a ton! First time posting here and hope to continue to learn from you all.

I finally listed my first rental on zillow and marketplace for rent after remodeling. I’ve received 70 generic inquires and 15 applications on Zillow after 9 days of posting. I also just listed my place on FB Marketplace yesterday with about 15 ‘is this available’ messages overnight. For all these inquiries, I replied back with a quick questionnaire on pre-screening questions, but only received a handful (5-10) responses. I also had an open house yesterday with low turnout. My questions are:

1. Is this normal?

2. How do I weed out who to show the house to?

Unsure if I’m doing anything wrong here, I’d love your feedback!

Thanks for your help!

Hi - Thank you for taking the time to answer questions!

I’ve started but now dear I won’t be able to find tenant.   I recently listed my first house for rent on Zillow and FB Marketplace. A lot of the generic ‘is the house available’ and requesting to schedule a showing. I’m met with silent 95% of the time when I respond back asking the prospects to answer few questionnaire as pre-screen. Also did an open house yesterday but low turnout. My questions are -

1. How long does it generally take to find tenant? 
2. What is an appropriate minimum credit score? 
3. how do I weed out the inquiries to only show the house to prospects? 

Thanks!
