Can you screen multiple tenants at the same time?

[Minji Wu]

Hi there, first time landlord here. I'm pushing our condo to the market and I've received quite a few inquiries. My question is, do I screen them one at a time or can I screen multiple tenants at the same time? I've always assumed that you should screen one person at a time and if he/she doesn't quite meet your criteria, you move on to the next applicant. Or is my assumption wrong that you can screen multiple persons at the same time and pick the one you like the most?

What would you do?

Thanks!
