Since she left out of country for a month then for 2 months she does not communicate back, I cant send the contractor in to address the issue.

I have about 260K left on my VA loan limit for a one unit.

then I would be able to let people know based on their situation if they were a good fit for coming to look at the property.It worked fairly well at weeding out the tire kickers and left me with a decent number of people to follow up with before the open house.  

I did all the work to get a house under contract that hopefully sells for $35k, after paying closing cost, realtors and seller I'll be left with approx $3000 and he will get $9000.

It might also open doors for positions requiring a college degree of any sort.When I left the engineering field for business, for example, I had the education and experience needed to take the exam for the professional engineering license.

The determining factor for maximum benefit to you is whether the plan aligns with your situation and goals.   

Using your example above, let's say it generates $600/month in cash flow and you left in $10k after refinancing.

This is what I see from right to left:6 cop cars lining the street so no one can enter or leave.12 cops on the sidewalk looking confused.3 contractors on the stoop of the property protecting it.2 angry guys with a truck next to the property.The problem started with the angry guys so I walk up and put on my late night dj voice and talk slow, “ Hi my name is Jared, I believe I purchased this property on Monday from the seller.

For sake of numbers if you have $50K left on your mortgage and your house is worth $100K you could potentially $15K (65% LTV) for rehab if you are not living in the property and $40K (90%LTV) for rehab if you are living there.

If you didn't max out your eligibility up to $453.1K max for most counties in the US, you still may have eligibility left to purchase another (at least partially) home without refinancing your existing.
