Just Listed my apartment....bombarded with calls and emails!

[Robert P.]

So I just listed my very first apartment EVER! I posted on both Zillow and Craigslist and have received about 10 emails and 5 calls in the last 12 hours (posted at 10pm).

My approach right now is to have an "open house" style showing this coming weekend and have everyone come, instead of separate appointments. 

It's definitely a bit overwhelming. I was not expecting this much traffic right off the bat. Any tips? People are asking about pets, section 8, etc. My approach for this is have whoever apply and then pick who I want from the applications. Good approach?

Thanks BP, you always have my back on my first journey to "landlordship"!
