@Patrick BlankenshipI recommend you  talk to someone at VA because I believe that refinancing to a conventional loan does not free up the VA loan in it's entirety. 

If I buy a note, I can inspect the note for Dodd Frank compliance and request the note be restructured before assumption if need be.If I buy a partial note, I verify that the note will be assigned in entirety to me for a set period of time when I assign it back in order to ensure that my note is secured by a first position against real estate.  

Code § 1701j–3 - Preemption of due-on-sale prohibitionsSee the exceptions(d) Exemption of specified transfers or dispositions With respect to a real property loan secured by a lien on residential real property containing less than five dwelling units, including a lien on the stock allocated to a dwelling unit in a cooperative housing corporation, or on a residential manufactured home, a lender may not exercise its option pursuant to a due-on-sale clause upon— (1) the creation of a lien or other encumbrance subordinate to the lender’s security instrument which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; (2) the creation of a purchase money security interest for household appliances; (3) a transfer by devise, descent, or operation of law on the death of a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety; (4) the granting of a leasehold interest of three years or less not containing an option to purchase; (5) a transfer to a relative resulting from the death of a borrower; (6) a transfer where the spouse or children of the borrower become an owner of the property; (7) a transfer resulting from a decree of a dissolution of marriage, legal separation agreement, or from an incidental property settlement agreement, by which the spouse of the borrower becomes an owner of the property; (8) a transfer into an inter vivos trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary and which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; or (9) any other transfer or disposition described in regulations prescribed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

Entirety?

If the damage is that bad (and I've seen it that bad - powder post beetles) whereas sistering isn't an option - we've just replaced in their entirety.

Purchase Price and Conditions of PaymentThe purchase price shall be ___________________________________ Dollars ($___________________) to be paid in its entirety in cash at the time of closing the sale. 2.

Hey Adam, your story pretty much mirrors mine in it's entirety.

In a tenancy by the entirety (a concurrent estate between married persons), neither tenant has the right of alienation withoutout the consent of the other.

While real estate consumes the entirety of my professional life, I still can't get enough of it!

I had one section 8 tenant who smeared feces throughout the entirety of my unit coupled with thousands of dollars in damages.
