I’m a married father of three (all under 5 yrs) with a good job and a spouse who likes the idea of financial freedom but is risk averse when it comes to investing.  

After further inquiry she has indicated that she is getting married and will not renew the lease at the end of term, which is in 3 months.

If you decide to move out after two years, you can sell tax free (up to $250k or $500k if you get married) and then use the proceeds from the sale to get your next property. 

@Carlisle Michael Baptiste This was our first home as a married couple.

About me: Married, wife and I both military nurses.

CO’s don’t have the authority to take away BAH nor are they going to take away his BAH because he is married.

Also, if you're married the capital gains exclusion is $500,000You can also add to it the cost of any work/rehab you performed on the home that improved or extended the life of the house (known as the adjusted cost basis). 

I got married 7 years ago and moved back to Minneapolis (My wife didn't like the big city) where I flipped my first house doing all of the work myself.

We got married after I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY.

. ($500K if you're married and filing jointly.)
