Got my first rental posted on all the major sites. I'm getting 1-2 calls/emails per day since 7/1. Below are my response numbers. 

Trulia gets a lot of traffic, but it's mostly out of state phone numbers and I never get return calls/emails. Is this common? 

How do these numbers look?

Overall #'s:

Contacted: 17 times

No returned calls/emails:  8

Showings Scheduled: 8

No Shows: 4

Applications: 1

  • Zillow
    • Contacted by 6 people
      • 3 - They didn't return my calls when I told them requirements
      • 3 Showings 
        • 1 applied and I declined due to terrible credit/payment history & 45 minutes late to showing
        • Waiting to hear back from one couple that saw it late last night
