Do open houses and tell everyone to come in the same 2 hour window, then you get the serious ones back for a second view a few days later when you can vet them more closely.

In decades doing this I don't think I've ever rented to someone who came back for a second view. And open houses are complete mess, I don't get to give attention to everyone I'd like to or get to sniff them out. I'd much rather do a bit of pre-interviewing on the phone, and then get to actually meet them and assess them during the tour.
