Potential landlord not calling back - does it look bad to keep calling?

We found a house over the weekend that seems to be a perfect solution to the rental we're in now (so many people on the boards with rental issues lately! :grouphug: ) So we called on Saturday and left a message to say who we were, how to reach us, and that we were interested in looking at the house. We didn't hear anything, so on Sunday DH called again to say that he was going to be off of work on Monday and that it would be a perfect day for us to come take a look at the house and meet the guy to see about an application. Nothing. This morning, after his first dentist appointment, we called again and left another message. DH wants to keep calling. (I think he's just annoyed that the guy isn't calling back or even answering his phone.) I'm saying we should let it rest a few days. Maybe the place is already rented, or the guy is sick or out of town. If we keep calling every day like this, he might think we'd be too much of a hassle to deal with as tenants. WWYD? This is the only house we've found in the almost 2 years we've been looking that is in a good area, with a smaller rent payment, and in better condition (at least on the outside). I don't want to seem desperate, but we kinda are. Should we wait and see if the guy calls us back? Or call again and see if we get a response? Move on and keep looking?

Honestly, I think you've called too much already. You called Saturday and left a message. I would have waited a few days before calling again. Now you seem kind of pushy and high maintenance. (Not saying you are!! Just that it comes across that way) If it were me, I wouldn't want to call you back at this point.

I'd give it a rest for a few days. It's a long weekend, so he might be busy with family or something.

 

D'oh! I didn't even think of that!

Yeah. *sigh* That's what I was thinking. DH and I disagreed on whether to call yesterday and today, but he really wanted to get in and see the place while he had the day off. I get why he wanted to, but I didn't think it was a good idea to keep pushing it. I guess I'll keep looking and bet on this guy not calling us back.
