I am in the process of buying a new home and securing lending on a jumbo loan. I have no debt to my name, a credit score higher than XXXX and more than sufficient funds for the 20 % down payment. I am gainfully employed at the some company for the past 10 years and in the same line of business for over 20 years. At issue is documentation required from the lender to approve my loan - specifically a mortgage or rental history for two years. I owned a home XXXX that I purchased in XXXX and sold in XXXX when I moved XXXX and purchased a home in XXXX that I sold in XXXX. Since that time I have been living XXXX rent free. Because I have the benefit of good friends and family members in the area while I continued to search for a home to purchase, I am now being penalized by having my loan not approved for this isolated reason. My impeccable credit report and payment history from XXXX is insufficient?
