First time filling up a unit for property OOS

This is my first time filling up a unit and I'm out of state. Just looking to get some tips / efficient ways to speed up the process while also getting a solid tenant in the space. 

Tenants leave the 15th and I plan to patch holes that evening and paint + hire cleaner on the 16th and have new tenants move in the 17th. 

I've listed on TenantCloud and am managing leads on there. Most seem to want a showing (i am currently making a quick google sheet with available time slots on a Sat morning for my dad to show). I have the rental posted on basically every platform including facebook groups. 

Is there anything I should know? Open to any wisdom. Love learning and hearing from experts.

Hey Trenton,

Make sure you have good tenant requirements when renting out the place. Last thing you want to do is rent your place out to someone that's had multiple evictions and has income/credit issues
