Why would ANYONE want to spend time filling out an application either on line, or in an office, and then either never see the place, or not like it when they do. Would you go into a car dealership, go straight to their office (bypassing all those cars on the lot), fill out a 15-30 minute application, and then not like any of the cars they have?

This is not about YOU. It's about your potential customers(tenants). You are in a business. It's about what you need to do to entice customers to become your tenants. If that means doing something YOU feel uncomfortable in doing, to get your place filled, then so-be-it.

ALL businesses take some work to make them profitable. In your case, that means showing places several times before you settle on the right tenant. You should always meet the people in person, then have them fill out an app only if they want to. I'm sure you would not be asking this question, if you weren't having trouble filling your units (or at least having people look at your units)
