I'd weight the options of high EMD with an inspection contingency so my money isn't at risk, and low(er) EMD with no contingency and I could lose my money.

The limitation depends mainly on the price and weight of the vehicle.

That seems like it should carry some weight, along with knowing the the traffic patterns of the booking cycle etc. 

A lot of times, these types of lifestyle choices will start limiting you down very quickly to specific areas, and since you are going to be living in the property, are likely to have a heavy weight on the neighborhoods.  

Last 4 years have been an anomaly so weight the pre 2019 data more than 2020-2024.

And truth is it's far FAR more weighted on a person, the personality, vs any company organization or lack there of. 

My personal credit is nearing 800, and our businesses have established relationships with several banks' commercial departments where all of the financial responsibilities have been met over time on our part, but I didn't know if ultimately, an entity could have an independent credit rating.I have an account at a local lumber yard that reports to Dunn and Bradstreet, but upon further research, Dunn and Bradstreet didn't appear to hold much weight from the brief digging that I did.  

One was 5 tons over weight!

Steve,I would recommend completing your profile, throwing up a picture and letting the community know a bit more about yourself to add some weight to your request.Sounds like a good opportunity for someone looking to learn the ropes. 

@Gary MontgomeryYour first year is going to be the most difficult because you will not have any tax returns as a SE investor, which is heavily weighted for bank underwriting.
