One fun way to get around this is to have enough money to sidestep the bank altogether. The title company does not give a shit about where the money came from. All they will want to see is a screenshot of your current balance so they know you aren't wasting everyone's time.

I bought a cheap property (vacant land with no utilities) then built the house literally $20 or $1000 at a time buying blocks/wood/pipes etc as I was building. All the money was legally earned and taxed, but the point is even the title company was sidestepped in this case beyond an amount pretty trivial in comparison to the value of the property and very little of it would have had to of went through the traditional financial system in order to make it possible.
