Need help, under contract, seller wants non refundable emd

This is my first investment property. I switched lenders after going under contract and they require 40-45 days to close vs 30 days with previous lenders. I ask for an extension, seller says okay but put another 1000 emd and its non refundable. So all in 2000 on emd. But at this point I have no idea if im getting approved. 

Is this a bad idea for an inexperienced investor ? I do like the property it seems to fit my numbers.

Cancel the deal and secure the EMD you paid.

You do not provide why you switched lenders or why you were not pre-approved before you made the offer.
