I, too, aim to be as accommodating to residents as possible.However...For my own liability protection and personal sanity, I'll only schedule our group viewings for when the resident can be physically present.For one thing, I'm a digital nomad (currently living in Colombia), so I'm likely never going to be conducting their viewing myself.But mostly, I don't want a resident claiming that some priceless heirloom went missing or got damaged after holding a showing in their absence.We'll pick a convenient time, typically 1 hour on a Saturday afternoon, and set appointments for up to 6 pre-screened buyers to take a look.

And don't forget to think about property management, whether you plan to handle it yourself or hire a professional company.Before purchasing your first rental property, it is important to conduct a detailed financial analysis using tools like real estate investment calculators or spreadsheets.
