Prescreen Tenant - First Rental

Hi All - I’ve been reading a lot on the forum and learned a ton! First time posting here and hope to continue to learn from you all.

I finally listed my first rental on zillow and marketplace for rent after remodeling. I’ve received 70 generic inquires and 15 applications on Zillow after 9 days of posting. I also just listed my place on FB Marketplace yesterday with about 15 ‘is this available’ messages overnight. For all these inquiries, I replied back with a quick questionnaire on pre-screening questions, but only received a handful (5-10) responses. I also had an open house yesterday with low turnout. My questions are:

1. Is this normal?

2. How do I weed out who to show the house to?

Unsure if I’m doing anything wrong here, I’d love your feedback!

Thanks for your help!
