How many tenants do you screen?

Nina Diehl
Posted

This is my first time picking a tenant for my first rental property.  I'm very excited to be at this stage.  I have decided to manage the property myself.  

So far, I have received interest from several people, sent a pre-screener, and I'm booking walk throughs of the house.  The next step would be to accept applications.

How many tenants, on average, do you experienced landlords screen via applications before picking a tenant?

    I'm a realtor with rental listings and a 4-unit myself. Like @Taylor Wilson mentioned, I create clear criteria and publicize it on whatever platforms you use to publish the listing. And I screen every applicant until I find the right tenant. Additionally, I pre-screen all applicants. I.E. i'm not showing a property until I know that person is qualified to rent the unit.

    Screen until the unit is filled.
