I sympathize with you on the savings and income piece because I found myself in a similar situation when I was looking for my first apartment, where I had the money to afford rent but my credit history was thin. Savings and and income may not be enough for landlords to deem you as a reliable tenant if your credit score is not up to their standards. Could this be a factor in your situation?

We do have good credit. But the irony in America is you have to be in debt to show you can pay bills. We have no debt other than our mortgage so we have a “thin” credit profile but good scores.
