A reminder, when we military have occupied a primary for 2 years of of 10 years, we can exclude capital gains on the sale of that house: If you or your spouse are on qualified official extended duty in the Uniformed Services, the Foreign Service or the intelligence community, you may elect to suspend the five-year test period for up to 10 years.

It legal advice but if you just want to get out of the lease, every state I’ve been in has a military clause in them so all you have to do is show your orders and they should cancel your lease without penalty.If you still need further guidance DM me and I will help you resolve it.

There's a lot of military.

I'm at the point where I'm interested in using my military retirement plan (TSP) to offer a cash deal on a property that is a two for one with extra room to build an additional small property, in a very busy, close to base location. 

It was on the MLS, I used a retired military agent by the name of Ken LeMay.

If there are gaps greater than 30 days they need to be explained such as you were in school or the military.

You should chat with @Brian Mangus, who is involved with an investment group of military folks!

Since I'm military and the house was in good condition, I was approved for a VA loan 0% down.

(Side note: I see you are military.

My friend @David Pere has a whole network of military investors who may be able to help with the VA question.
