So, less applicants to wade through, and you'll have a better batch to work with.  

You might want to consider a middle solution such as @Liz Brumer's company www.TapeTechs.com, who will look at a batch of properties for you. 

I recently sent out 200 yellow letters to absentee owners who owned homes outright and received 20 responses which was awesome, but because all were investors only 2-3 leads were work exploring further.I'm going to send out a new batch of 200, this time focusing on owner occupants with high equity.

I actually dropped my first batch of mail when I was 19.

Also, you don't need to take first qualified applicant, you can select the most qualified applicant out of the batch of applications you received.

I find if Iuse Ben Moore base mixed at a Ben Moore shop, rather than matching colors in cheaper paint I have better luck matching from batch to batch.

But you can also e-mail tenants for rent that is due, which you can do as a mass batching via e-mail. 

So we came to a mutual agreement to schedule the showings in batches as they come of course with the 24hr prior notice.

The fuel was only able to be produced in batches at a high cost. 

We update the rating sheet periodically, but always keep it uniform for each batch of applicants for one opening.
