Would I be able to rent out rooms to assist in qualifying for a loan modification?

Your question is confusing.. The whole reason one would apply for a loan mod is because they cannot afford the payment and need the lender to somehow lower it.. by renting out your rooms, in essence, you would be going in the wrong direction.. by getting additional income, you would qualify for a higher payment.. Renting out rooms would make it easier for you to make your payment, so doing that very thing might help you avoid foreclosure, but it certainly wont help in qualifying for a lower payment..

If you're being denied a modification due to income being too low, it's possible that might be taken into consideration but it is not normal. They may require documentation you are receiving the income. You might also contact a HUD housing counseling agency for assistance. Good luck

PS. A modification is not likely if the lender/servicer believes they are only prolonging the likelihood they will have to foreclose.
