There used to be a poster here who used to say in regard to this, "Lower your price, not your standards."

Are you having difficulty finding applicants with a higher credit score? If so, you need to look at why they are going to other rentals and not yours. Is your price in line with others? Do you have features or amenities that make yours more desirable?

While you shouldn't lower your standards, you also need to take the numbers into consideration. Average credit score in the country is in the mid to high 600s. You may want to look into what the average is for your area and see if you may be shooting way too high.
