PCS Orders: Time Starts Now
I have moved my entire life and hold dear to my heart all who serve. My father retired from Active Duty after 20 years of service and my mother will be retiring from the US Department of Defense very soon as well. My husband continues to serve Active Duty to this day. We know too well the ups and downs of relocating, but we have made the absolute best of each PCS by investing in Real Estate at almost every duty station utilizing his VA Home Loan Benefits. It is one of the single most valuable benefits Service Members earn and well deserved for all of your sacrifices.
There are those of us who do not have the luxury of time to wait for the perfect home—time starts now. We are limited in choosing from what is available to us in this moment and in this market for which we have orders. Should we wait for military housing, live off post, buy or lease? These are only a few of the questions we must answer every time we PCS. Currently, we are experiencing increasing rents and a limited inventory. Home ownership consistently beats leasing, as far as seeing a return on investment. You never see any of your rent money ever again. Equity equals net worth! It is always risky, but you might as well take advantage of all that time moving. As a Certified Military Relocation Professional and licensed Realtor in Nevada, I know sometimes it helps to talk it out with someone who has been there, because no one else gets it. I would love to connect, because there is more than enough success to go around. Let's help each other, share knowledge and information. Our military community is our greatest resource.
I thank YOU for your service to our great country.
