Take it from a guy who's had the good fortune (or bad judgement) to buy many new cars and trucks that aren't nearly as wise of a choice as a Civic: you're decision to pick that model is an indicator that your judgement is sound and will enable you to successful in the long run.

I have a lot of commercial truck experience, so I am pretty comfortable backing a large trailer into a tight space. 

My credit is a 784.No bills besides phone and food so my DTI ratio is great.

Keep in mind that those loans with be full recourse (you have to personally guarantee them).Other food for though would be, if you decide to get into larger deals with loan balances over the $1MM then you can get non-recourse agency loans and it would be unusual for it NOT to be in an LLC.

Scope out the trucks with phone numbers and the Large pickups loading. 80-90 percent of them are contractors.

I take my truck, a 16' flatbed trailer and an appliance dolly. 

People don’t sue people that qualify for food stamps.

Sizes of truck courts and parking is important too. 

I had to call tow trucks to remove stuck tenants.

I currently have a truck the lives in 1 of 2 spots, so I could easily just start parking on the street.
