A 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate).

Furthermore, I doubt that this will affect other state with respect to it being a precedent for other courts.

Earn respect and trust through action.

To get them off my back, I will occasionally point them to the specific CA code that details our respective legal obligations, and that usually works.If this is continual problem for you, ask your lawyer or a knowledgeable title rep for your specific state code that you can use when you need it.

However while I think @John Thedford is a little harsh and extreme in his position, he is a well respected member here, and makes some very good points to consider.
