Rental Showings - Do you prefer 1:1 or open house tours?
Just starting showing my rental property about 1.5 weeks ago, by appointment only. It seems like a nice gesture to have private tours for the potential tenants that show up, but it also takes a lot of time. So what I did this past Saturday is scheduled a good bit of showings, so that I wouldn't have to keep making trips multiple days, but now I am thinking about scheduling an open house.
What are you experiences with either one? Pros and or cons?
Thanks in advance,
Pam

Set them up back to back with 15 minutes each. assuming it is currently empty, you can give them a quick tour and if they need more time, they can look at it on their own when you are showing the next people. Then if someone is a no show, you don't have that much time to wait.
