It tough to compete with you experiences folks!

Many details could affect whether you are entitled to this money back or not.

I am also curious how folks are dealing with appraisals as appraisers don't view these properties as duplexes and I've heard of investors having issues with cash out refinances not hitting their target values where had the home been designated a duplex (lets say in a two detached property scenario) it would have easily appraised in their target value. 

Have done some preliminary research and will do a deep dive, just wanted to see what folks thought of there were any obvious reasons why or why not or any markets similar that I should be considering.

Folks, simply connect with those doing deals, they will pay you for finding good deals.

Typically with houses of this age - you'll need structural folks to dig and install piers into the soil.

This is going to do two things to help you in the future to free up your VA entitlement so you can buy another home 100%. 

The only reason I chimed in is a lot of folks might take this as gospel for any and all areas.

Thanks folks.
