Follow ups are key as the average person takes 3-5 touches before picking up the phone to respond.

@Keith Meyer Responding a little late but figured to chime in.

I posted my rental online and received this from a interested renter out of state:"Good morning we are family of 3 and we are living in north Carolina and we are going to buy a deli in ny so I willing to pay 6 months and advance also I can't provide you with sufficient found in my bank account".I ask them some more questions regarding employment, credit and references and they respond with,"I do have a great credit, I also can provide reference which is excellent, we are not working at the moment because we are moving from NC to NY and we are going to buy a business in NY, and also I can provide you proof that we have more than $200,000 in our bank accounts, that's why we are able to pay up to 6 month of rents ahead."

Hey there first time responder here.

If you want tenants to respond promptly, you must do the same.

@Michael Lee We are constantly putting in offers, and sometimes the Sellers do not respond because it is considered a lowball for them, but for us, the list price is high and most likely will result in a project in which WE lose money on. 

Thank you to everyone responding to my thread.

One person recently responded after getting that automated email to state they are no longer interested because "it appears you can get evicted for breathing too hard".

Perhaps someone could tell me how to reply to individual comments, instead of responding to all of you en masse.

The upper white collar people dont want so much of the details, but more that you have been doing this for a while, it works and they are just going to oversee like a board of directors and make their return.Everyone is a little different and you have to see how they respond.
