Active duty

Your next move is not always your call.

Report dates, BAH, deployments and a spouse’s career all shape a PCS move. Let’s start with your timeline and talk through the questions that matter to you.

How I help

A clearer picture.A sensible next step.

You don’t need every answer before we talk.

Buying on a PCS timeline

Report dates rarely wait for the perfect listing. We plan your loan timeline around your orders from the first conversation.

BAH and your budget

Basic Allowance for Housing can generally count toward qualifying income. We focus on the payment that feels comfortable, not just the maximum.

Keep your current home

Depending on your remaining entitlement, you may be able to keep your current home as a rental and still buy at your next station.

Deployed during the process

A spouse can often satisfy the occupancy requirement while you’re deployed, and signing can be planned around your schedule.

Financing options depend on your eligibility, entitlement and lender requirements.

Common questions

Questions before your next move.

Often, yes. With a copy of your PCS orders, many buyers start the process before they arrive. Occupancy rules still apply, so the home needs to be where you plan to live.

BAH can generally count toward qualifying income. We’ll review your Leave and Earnings Statement together.

Possibly. It depends on your remaining entitlement and the price of your next home. We’ll walk through the numbers together.

We can plan for it. A spouse may be able to satisfy occupancy, and signing options can be arranged ahead of time.
