Honestly, I thought I was being paranoid when I started tracking every little transfer, but turns out it saved me a ton of hassle. My lender flagged a $12 PayPal from my mom and wanted a whole explanation—felt ridiculous, but I was glad I had a note ready. If you’re buying from family, I’d say keep a running list of any money moving between accounts, even if it seems minor. It’s a pain, but it really does make things smoother when the underwriter starts asking questions.
