Very interesting reading! One additional idea... have an "open house". One of our friends lives in a tri-plex we own. And he handles the showings for us as we are on the other side of the country. To minimize the time that he is involved we also have a lot of information on the craigslist and viewit.ca listing AND when they email or call, he has two selected times to give them when he will be showing the unit. This works out extremely well because 1) interested tenants seeing other interested tenants check out your place means they submit applications quickly 2) everyone coming through at once means less time spent in total and 3) if we have tenants in the suite currently this minimizes the disruptions and sheer pain in the butt factor of giving them notice of showings. Anyway - just another idea! GOOD LUCK!!! Great little blog! Very interesting reading! One additional idea… have an “open house”. One of our friends lives in a tri-plex we own.
