$12 bucks for a beer dang I can get 25 cents a beer at the local bar lol.Seriously though Will we live in a society of greedy cheating dishonest idiots who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves I mean look at all of the ponzi scams being brought out in the open now.I rather make a living doing the right honest way than screw someone just for a quick buck.Honesty is the best policy.

Most can't get past bullet point #3, which is where theory (all the things you love about 203k in theory) hits reality (reality: listing agents hate dealing with FHA 203k and most will "anti-sell" your offer by telling their sellers to throw your offer in the trash).
