It seems like 20 or even 30 years ago, people could get a house with relative ease. Now though, its insane, im struggling with this mortgage lender because they want a receipt over my HOA fees ... they're 200$/yr, but apparently they are being insistent they want this. And for the past few weeks, they have been complete pedantic assholes wanting the dumbest documents imaginable, like a job contract with the closing date of the house instead of the start date. It's actually pissing both me and everyone else off, because when i bought my first house, i dont remember it being THIS fucking hard to do

This is and isn't correct. I bought a house 20 years ago. They wanted all the stupidest shit in the world. The only thing that was "easier" was the credit score and income ratio minimums because they were allowing for predatory mortgages to be made to people who couldn't afford it.

The extra hardness is good to prove you can actually afford the damn thing. It's to protect you and the banks and everyone else. It's good.
