Is this a thing, or is the underwriter making a mistake?  

Major mistake. 

@Austin Tondreau the single worst mistake my wife and I made was to pay off our student loans.

I'm glad you are doing research to avoid mistakes.1) That's not the only way to obtain estimates but for someone new to real estate that is the best way.

Many people make the mistake of going into real estate deals without enough cash.

Maybe a newbie mistake...
