Buying a home and being in the military?

[Bo Evans]

I am in the Navy and my wife and I are deciding on whether or not to buy a home. The military gives us an allowance for housing it changes depending on where we will live. I just wanted peoples opinions on this subject if anyone has experience with this? We will be moving between 3-7 years every place and so we will either have to sell it or get a property manager.

I feel that it will be a good thing to take advantage of, just want to make the best decision. This will be our first home we will buy and getting tossed into the real estate world.

Thank you for your thoughts and experience.
