In my opinion, there are so many advantages of homeowners ship. If you are currently in the service and receive housing payments you can turn your BAH into an investment. No need to paying your BAH to your landlord and making your landlord rich, but trust me landlords will love getting your housing allowance and at the end of your tour, you will not have any of the funds in your pocket. By buying a home you can add the BAH into the equity of your home and cash out after or turn your home into an investment property.
If you own pets it is so much easier to own your own home versus renting. I currently have a dog and two cats, if I had to rent a home there wouldn’t be many landlords that are accepting 3 pets. You should definitely consider buying a home if you have pets or you are thinking about adopting pets.
