I started off convinced to pay the taxes, and put the money in an investment plan, where I would have at least $25k per year to live off (interest) while the remainder of the money grows for retirement.After speaking with my accountant, I decided to put the money in a 1031 hold, as I cannot stomach giving the government such a large portion of the money.

With this all in mind, here lays the problem.1) The government is drawing down on it's Department of Defense personnel numbers meaning jobs cuts for the next 6-10 years.

If the numbers allow it, then great.Any FHA loan, 203b and 203k alike, do get fairly demanding when it comes to documentation and general paperwork, however what government loan doesn't?

There's no match for the military TSP like in the other government employees' TSP. 

Like most things governments do, they usually go too far when they meddle. 

A government agency that guarantees loans so that banks will loan to lower credit buyers(and others)similar to Fannie Mae.  

Sometimes government agencies take the house away from them after a case like this.

@Kevin Hart  That question has been around since government regulation started.

IF ONLY the government was this concise... and helpful!

The 30 year US Government Treasury bond rate is about 3.65% .
