The ability to pull your money back out after the refi is largely (or solely) dependent upon the forced equity you create.

It depends on what your policy states.Most of my clients who have had total losses(max policy payout) will get paid directly and general contract the rehab or sell as is.  

You can also refinance your VA loan with another bank and replenish the 450k limit that you get (depending on your location the amount can go up).

Depends on the lender.

You will be heavily depending a PM company to either make or break your investment and it's performance.Usually getting passive is for 80 to 100 units or more at a time.

Depends on the bank, but most, if not all will require you to have money in the deal.
