Quote from @Dereck Olson: Hi Nicholas,  Just a thought from the possible tenant's perspective, but filling out a prequalification form and/or providing personal information before they have even seen a place and know if they will be interested in living in the property might be a bit too much to ask.

In a dense area, such as in-town (city, dense suburb, etc) you should be able to find sales within a half mile.
