I was doing showings half hour apart, but quickly figured out roughly half won't show up and then I'm stuck there waiting for the next one. Now I schedule either 15 min or at the same time (there's always someone that's early or late anyway)

Besides doing make readys when someone moves or is evicted I'd say it's the one or 2 tenants that want to use me as a go between to talk to another tenant. I put an end to that when 1 woman who complains at least once a week emailed me to ask that I tell the tenants next door to her to pick up the pumpkin that fell off the railing because it was blocking her and her husband from parking their two cars in a 1 car spot.

I told her it would be quicker if she just went next door herself and KINDLY asked them to pick up the pumpkin and reminded her she wasn't entitled to having two cars in a spot (one behind the other) when it's technically one space

I'm another one that would choose the ones that paid late a couple times. I have a family that's been in a unit 3 years. Always pay, Never pay  on time but end up paying $110 in late  fees every month. I have another older gentleman who's been with me 3 years also, again doesn't get it in on time, but always gets it to me, with late fees. It's really annoying and I thought of evicting a couple of times but decided against it....for now. The older gentleman I think honestly forgets but the family I swear does it just to irritate me. Jokes on them though, paying way more than they have to.

When I'm stuck in a situation like that though, I go with my intuition. I meet and talk to all potential tenants, so if it's 3 not perfect choices I'll choose the one my gut tells me is the best.
