Yes, I understand that this mechanism allows the marketplace to pay juice on capital deployed immediately instead of it sitting idly in escrow, but this benefit comes with a cost.  

While still deployed, he purchased a single family foreclosure with a 0% down VA loan.

It is not that uncommon if they travel frequently (pilots and truck drivers do this all the time) or if they are military going on short deployments.

We provide a very valuable service especially when that person is deployed and cannot deal with the issues that arise.

Your dad could essentially be a fund manager and deploy his IRA into flip transactions, but he could not be hand's on involved in the flipping or receive any compensation.Further, there are potential tax implications if his self directed IRA or Solo 401k flips houses on a regular or repeated basis and therefore is considered to be conducting a trade or business.  

I have an applicant that is on military deployment oversees and his fiancee lives here.

Your equity - if deployed soberly -  can do more  than you imagine.

At that point it makes sense to cash out and deploy the capital elsewhere.

I would be there sooner but I am actually deployed at the moment.
