July 22, 20169 yr Pro-tip if this gets passed: 1. Buy the same house you would buy anyway. 2. Create an LLC, transfer title of the house into the company. 2a. (Optional) Name a friend as an employee, pay them a nominal sum if it makes you feel better. 3. Sign a contract between yourself and the company, agreeing to rent the house from the company. 4. Profit... 100% legally.
July 22, 20169 yr Or just buy the same house and make your mortgage the max BAH for your area. Refinance when you PCS but charge max BAH for the next renter's rank or sell as required.
July 22, 20169 yr https://news.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/SECDEF_NDAA_Letter.pdf#viewer.action=download It's a great read and I encourage everyone to look at the full document. Highlights SECDEF Carter letter to SASC Chairman regarding NDAA, 13 Jul 2016 If a bill is presented to the President in the current form of either version of the NDAA, I will join with the President's other senior advisors in recommending that he veto the legislation. I am, however, hopeful that you will address the Department's concerns during your conference negotiations. [...] The Department strongly objects to provisions in the House and Senate bills which do not authorize an additional BRAC round. [...] The Department urges the adoption of the Senate position on the military pay raise and strongly objects to the House language in section 601 that would remove the alternate pay-setting authority provided to the President in permanent law. A 1.6 percent pay raise represents the best judgment of our military and civilian leaders on how to balance responsible compensation increases with our readiness and modernization needs. [...] The Department maintains its strong objection to Senate section 604. This provision undermines the current BAH structure by basing the allowance solely on grade and location (disregarding dependency status). It would reinstate previously failed policies and require the imposition of a burdensome and inefficient administrative process. Furthermore, it would disproportionately affect female service members and those military families in which both military members have chosen to serve their country. [...] Finally, this provision would have a negative impact on the recruitment and retention of the high-quality service members, and families, required for our all-volunteer force.
December 15, 20168 yr 2017 BAH rates are available. https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm Most reliable indicator of local economic strength available. Based on how far ours dropped I'm glad we rented this time! Also glad for Grandfather rules. 1
December 16, 20168 yr Dropped $100 per month. Happy to be grandfathered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 16, 20168 yr Up $83/month...I'll take what I can get Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
December 16, 20168 yr Down $168/month. Not surprising considering oil prices are depressed and AK can't figure out how to finance government without tapping into Permanent Fund Savings. Economics/government fail when you need one commodity at $90/barrel to finance your government.

December 16, 20168 yr Until you change rank. Not if you get promoted. You would keep the higher amount at the lower rank. Had this happen to me two years go.Edit: saw someone had already commented about thisSent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

December 17, 20168 yr Down $3 for O-3 in Vegas and O-4 dropped $18. I'll barely make enough BAH to cover my rent AFTER I get promoted. RidiculousSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
