@Louis Sutton, as a current active duty military member who buys a house at every duty station I will give you my two cents.  

I'm in the military stationed overseas but will be headed back stateside in August. 

  @ Jay Hinrichs: I was stationed in Hawaii and agree about the systems out there.  

.,, NOPE the electric guy isn't gonna wait to get paid, and nope either is the mortgage company.. so Yup I just checked and your rent is past due the late fee won't be waived and if you don't have it paid by the 5th I'm forced to file eviction which will cost you another $$$ so I recommend you do what ever is necessary to come up with the needed funds.Be equal and fair and don't be shy about what you have to do to keep it going. the guy at the gas station changes the $$ on that sign all the time and he still get's customers. 

Small money maybe for an established person but crushing for a newbie.Fast forward to now and you could probably qualify for a trip to the International Space Station more easily than you will get a signed lease out of me. 

Most are stationed at a location anywhere from 2-4 years and have a guaranteed housing allowance paid to them every month.

heres my situation:im in the air force and receive about 1600 a month right now with basically no overhead. its likely that i wont be stationed in one place more than 2 years. however ive been thinking that it seems like a good idea to purchase a home where i am stationed and then rent it out to either other airmen or anyone. and when and if i get stationed elsewhere, i can sell the house or keep it as a rental. of course i plan to aggressively find an investment property below market value that will generate cash flow. also i can use this propertys equity to finance another home and etc. does this sound like a workable plan.... thanks

I had one done last year buying a radio station with towers/land involved as part of the due deligence,,the company I hired had someone come out and do the test for about $2k, there are different levels of testing, 

I am currently in the Army stationed in South Korea but am originally from Noblesville, IN.
