Good advice from those above.
It seems strange to me that you have $100K equity but can only buy a property worth $200K.
If you have $100K equity you'd be able to borrow $80K. So they'll only lend you another $110K (including purchase costs)? Maybe your income is low?
Have they taken the rent into account?
Personally I would try to stretch to a 2 bedroom. Easier to rent.
