Underwriting and Lending Question

[Zachary Harrison]

I got a call from my lender saying the "underwriter" won't or isn't allowing me to rent my home to a family member in order to qualify for another loan.  Has anyone had a similar issue?  Can the underwriter dictate who I rent to so I can qualify for another loan?  I have never heard of this.

I asked if we could get a different underwriter (this is actually the 2nd underwriter as the first one quit which I just found out today).

Any comments/thoughts would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
