I'm currently active duty in the Navy and will likely be transitioning out of the Navy in the Spring of 2021 and moving out to NE Tennessee (I'm currently stationed in VA). 

I am active duty military and I plan on beginning my investing career by house hacking at my next duty station.

Hello-We are moving out-of-state in 2021 and considering giving a tenant reduced rent in exchange for caretaking duties. 

In WV as an active duty service member you are not required to pay state taxes!

Since you lived in the home for two years (cumulatively) out of the last 15 - active duty personnel have an extension to the 2 out of 5 rule - you will not have to pay capital gains on the sale of tha property.If it is costing you to own the home it is hard to justify holding onto unless you plan to move back into that home at some point. 

I probably have less then 2 yrs until I retire from active duty. 

@Justin Bautista On a VA appraisal you can tell the appraiser and/or lender that you want to trigger the Tidewater Clause.That gives all parties involved 72 hours to gather evidence (in this case better measurements and maybe better comps) to convince the appraiser to raise the valuation.When I was selling residential real estate I occasionally came across appraisers that saw it as their sacred duty to screw the seller and get a better deal for the buyer. 

Currently I am serving on Active Duty supporting the Covid-19 response with the Air National Guard, however, my normal full-time job is with the Federal Government.

@Doran Summers I am active duty military and plan to use my VA loan to acquire multifamily properties in NY.

We live in KY, but are TX residents (I'm on Active Duty for the Army) and will be remaining in KY after I retire in a few years, in which we will become KY residents.
