Every deal is different, every borrower is different, and every financing option will be tweaked specifically to match.

I would tweak your numbers a bit (higher budgets for repairs and capex), get more specific numbers where possible, and define what you are looking to get out of a deal.  

The FSS scores work well when combined with Owner Occupied and AbsenteeAge 40-89 5+ year ownershipsingle and multi-familyhigh equityHome value based on your areaYou can work with a list broker to tweak these for your market.
