Everyone talks rate and ratio. Here's what actually decides if your file closes clean:
No sourcing required on large deposits
100% gift funds allowed (down payment, closing costs, reserves)
Only 3 months seasoning on cash-out refinance
Rent free letters accepted for first time buyers
620 min FICO
If one of these has held up a deal for you before, it might be worth a second look here. Drop your scenario and we'll take it from there.
