I do it myself and have a relationship with a place to complete background checks.  I like some sort of say on who is in the property and feel I would do a better job myself if I can find time.  

To control my time on the process, I usually post it on craigslist and don't meet people individually.  I set up a date to more or less have an open house for interested parties so I can meet the in a set timeframe.  It doesn't bother me if they end up coming at the same time to look at it as it just shows them they aren't the only one interested.  I usually try to find a little project to work on at the same time.
