Welcome to BP @Xavian Rimmer!

@Braden Smith

I would use the low rent rates of that area to take advantage of the fact that you can probably make money on your BAH? If you live “below your means” by renting a place below your housing allowance, you come out ahead. It’s not likely that you will want to keep a rental in Leesville as an out of state owner when you get your next duty station somewhere far away. 

I would use time at Ft. Polk as a learning and saving opportunity. Keep studying and learning all you can about investing, because you are likely to get PCSed out of there within 3-4 years. That is not enough time to recoup the transaction costs if you buy something that you end up selling in less than 5 years.

Thanks James.

Welcome to BP @Ty Upshaw! I won't make you any promises, but we can talk. What part of the state are you moving to? 

Welcome to BP @Tobey Scadlock. Sounds like you are starting similar to me. I got my license for ways that it helps me as an investor too.

Welcome to BP @Josh Korsten!

Lineman? I spent a few years wearing that hat, a long long time ago! Welcome to BP. See you around the area!

@Jeff V. ? @Cavin Clark ?

It's not likely that you will find anyone in Anacoco. I'll drop Leesville here for anyone who might have a keyword search from that area who can help you? 

Now @Jeff V. just came to my mind as someone who may be able to help you? Good luck!
