Hey everyone,So I woke up to an irritating text from the sellers broker.

The landlord is irritated that, from his perspective, you decided to just go out an get a dog without seeking approval - Which is a very understandable position - He or she is having visions of a problem tenant that will be a pain in his rear for the next year - Your job now is to let the landlord know that you did in fact ask the realtor about getting a dog and that you believed a dog wouldn't be a problem - you are making a pretty big assumption that the realtor will not acknowledge the conversation --- if the landlord still refuses the dog after you have explained your side of things, then you either find another home for the pet or pay to get out of the lease ....

Not only would this ordinarily irritate me, but I had a terrible financing experience during the process.

I am not throwing out blanket defenses of the city and it irritates me when I see people throw out blanket condemnation of the city.

If so, I would not recommend doing that, it is too often in a short period of time and you are likely going to irritate and annoy the owners.

I still need a mentor that is making money, and doesn't have to necessarily be in Alabama just someone who is going to be there for me when I call and not get irritated from consistently calling, texting and email.

Yes some folks will be irritated with your call but its a numbers game and the more calls you make, the more appointments you set up then the more properties you will put under contract, then eventually the more profitable you will become. 

Also, people have to keep in mind that there are some new posters who don't read the rules before posting and I have seen it irritate some of the more experienced posters.

This policy is in effect desire to mitigate (i) the irritation and known health effects of secondhand smoke; (ii) the increased maintenance, cleaning, and redecorating costs from smoking; and (iii) the increased risk of fire from smoking.

Compared to your story it wasn't that bad - more irritating than anything.
