 You have to get your listing out there on the major listing websites like Zillow to maximize exposure. I also recommend posting a rental listing on Facebook Marketplace. 

It's your job as a landlord to pre-screen potential leads (gross income, credit score, evictions or not, etc) and then only schedule showings for those people that meet your screening standards.
