My wife and I are in the process of buying our second home. When we went to get preapproved we were worried we wouldn't qualify for the mini farm we were looking at. We qualified for more than we needed just on my income alone. I make $78k a year and they said they'd give me close to $500k. Those payment would be almost my entire monthly paycheck.

It's predatory.
