Which makes sense because it benefits you.

You benefit from equity, income taxes, and potential cashflow.

Rewey from what they discussed, the note is assigned to Ignite Funding for the benefit of..

I could , however my remaining entitlement is 211k , and the houses I would be looking at is 450k range so even though the Va loan has much more benefits because of the small remainder I Would need more down payment .

The benefit for you is in the neighborhood being cleaned up...and maybe in 10 years you own the property... 

I'm also looking into some groups here in town with broad range of experience and knowledge to see who I can contribute to the group but also benefit as well.
