Why does getting a bigger mortgage have to be so complicated?

Trying to wrap my head around jumbo loans lately and honestly, it’s just… a headache. The requirements seem way stricter than regular mortgages—higher credit scores, bigger down payments, more paperwork. I mean, I get that it’s a bigger risk for the bank, but it almost feels like you’re being punished for needing a slightly more expensive house. Has anyone else run into this? Did you find a lender that made the process less painful, or is it just always this much of a slog?

I had to laugh reading this because I got flagged for a $12 Venmo labeled “lunch” from my sister. The underwriter wanted to know if it was a recurring debt or something. Like, am I secretly financing her sandwich habit? It’s wild how they’ll question every tiny thing. Makes me wonder if I should just start labeling everything “not a loan” in the memo line... but then that’d probably look even more suspicious, right?
