I much prefer selecting the most qualified candidate, not necessarily the most speedy.In your situation, I would apprise both prospective tenants that you have received several calls of interest and have arranged to show the property through the weekend.

It can be a profitable niche market with the right mindset.We went through a phase, last year, when we had 13 move outs, so more than one a month.  

You will find your niche!

We pride ourselves on making the sale as easy as possible and we’d prefer to do all the work ourselves!

This is what brought me here.If I can afford something here now, then I would prefer to house hack.

My advice-and what I personally do-is find out what they focus on and A) pick a different niche B) if I get deals with their criteria, use them for help/partnership.There's no shortage of deals if you market to the right people.

I'd say the first thing to worry about, long before worrying about the money, is figuring out what niche you are most interested in.
