Now I'm reminded of those gas station restrooms that you had to get the key for.

Are you going to start investing now in your current location, get a property manager whenver it's time to PCS then invest in the new location around your duty station?

We just got stationed here about four months ago and was amazed about the rental market.

I'm a military spouse stationed overseas and would love to see a military forum as well. 

Theres a good chance that if I don't do it now I won't have the option to do it myself in the future due to the possibility of me getting stationed elsewhere.

There are full time staff that get stationed at the base for a year or two then leave.

I am currently stationed on the USS Bonhomme Richard out of Sasebo Japan.

If you look at where my husband and I live we have multiple military bases (Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Support Activity Norfolk, Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Fort Story, Naval Air Station Oceanna, Damneck Training Facility, Naval Support Activity Southwest, Norfok Naval shipyard, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, DOD Complex Suffolk, Fort Monroe, Langley Air Force Base, Fort Eustis, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown) where we have a constant turn over.  

I hope to be stationed near Carlsbad in a few years.

hey @Branden Newman, A friend of mine who was in the military bought a house each place he was stationed in the U.S.
