So I would say 99% of those doing the high-cost mods are borrowing out their azz in some fashion and ther other 1% can actually afford it without a problem.

And anyone who claims they can easily make such mods are just plain lying out the ying-yang.
Then when you get in over your head, just declare bankruptcy and start over. Nowadays, I'd be real surprised if banks were tripping over themselves to hand out $15,000 unsecured personal loans and if they do, the rates are 15-20%. Just pay cash. Or put it on your card, get the points, and pay the balance off in full at the end of the month.
