If you want to use the VA loan, I would just go ahead and do it in your personal name and just make sure you have a good insurance policy (the first line of defense). 

I don't know what your state's statutory or case law states about the lease provision you mentioned, but assuming it's a valid lease provision, you could give notice of lease termination based on that provision, but be careful, because if you deliver a notice to pay in conjunction with a notice to terminate, a court your jurisdiction could rule that the 2 notices are "confusing" and could constitute a defense for the tenant.

Quote from @James Furlo: Sometimes, I come across a deal where it makes sense to have more than 1 private lender/investor.

This is your first line of defense if something goes wrong

I appreciate it @James Mc Ree, I'm trying to make the most informed decision and stack options.
