Yeah the issue is the "re-entitlement," for your father because once the VA loan is paid off there is a process probably through the Arizona VA office to restore that entitlement so the VA program is once again available for his purchase.So depending on his close of escrow date for this new home and when it is or how flexible the seller is then using a refi to conventional and VA for purchase would be possible even with a couple hurdles.I think that is the most efficient path too since VA rates are generally lower than conventional.

My partner was accepted into Portland State University for a master's program.

@John Cameron  would like to follow along with you... if you can post your name or web link that would be great or send me a PM if you can.

I'm not familiar with the program you mentioned so I don't know what it offers above the current DYI approach.

For 20 years I've worked in the IT industry creating Web, mobile app, and software technologies with a heavy focus on helping real estate agents have mobile, responsive websites to list their properties.

Top two, so far are Champions school of real estate and Career Web school.

Thank you for sharing John's web sight.  

They have a number on their web site, did you try calling them first?

Also use Google search the same keywords and city you are targeting. 2 I also use a software program that finds cash buyers.

Some REIAs get kick back and do not always show you the best program.
