How do I get an apartment in san fracnisco?|123524

There are so many people trying to land every listing on the market. How do I get them to pick me, even if I don_t have the others beat on income and/or credit score?

Be honest and up front. Let them know what you are about. Ask them what your chances are. When you call ask how many people are in front of you to see this place and go from there. If there is 20, then move on. Leave your # in case. Tell them you are interested and what can you do to be first on the list. Best of all be personable and friendly, tell them about yourself and ask ?_s about them to show you care. Have excellent references ready. Always smile and dress nice and be friendly.

It seems to come down to the personal, all things being equal. Be polite, dress nicely, answer all questions honestly. In short, act like someone you would want to rent to if you were an owner.
