If you’ve purchased a new property and you’re ready to rent it, finding prospective tenants is your next challenge. You want to rent to people who are going to pay on time, respect your property, and maintain open communication with you. To find these ideal tenants, you’ll need to first show your rental property to potential applicants during individual appointments or an open house.

Open House

Open houses are appealing because they seem time-efficient. You show up once to a big event and hope the right renter shows up. Unfortunately, this method may miss out on tenants who aren’t available during the open house.

While the open house can create a festive atmosphere that makes attendees excited about your rental property, you may have difficulty screening potential renters. If many people show up, you won’t have much time to answer their questions or give them a walk-through. Instead, they’ll be left to explore on their own.

Private Showings

Both you and the renter benefit from private showings because the personalized attention lets you cultivate a relationship. The person touring the house will feel like they can take their time, which will help them envision their future life in the rental property. The potential renter can ask all of their pressing questions while you get a sense of their needs as well. You have the chance to gauge how responsible the renter seems and how serious they are about living on your property.
