Should I buy or rent after PCS to Fort wainwright?

[Christopher Guzman]

I'm PCSing to fort wainwright Alaska. I was wondering if anyone had insight on if I should buy or rent on post. We are unfamiliar with the harsh winters and my wife is a little worried about ownership in this environment. Also If anyone has experience in obtaining good cash flow properties and if the numbers make sense in Fairbanks. I'm very interested in obtaining a Multi-Family with my VA loan.
