bah: Naval Base Kitsap | BAH and Home Ownership - 09/29/10 02:57 PM
Interest rates have been so low for so long that home ownership for military members using their BAH has actually been a reality.
Never before has the military population owned a higher percentage of homes. The days of base living has changed drastically. With most installations switching over to PPV the climate has changed. The thought of waiting until retirement to purchase a home has become a scary thought in this economy.
So as a military member do you purchase a home?
It is a very complicated process which needs some investigation and education before making a decision. You should … (1 comments)

bah: Turn your BAH into Home Ownership – Stop Renting (LOCALISM FEATURED) - 07/16/08 03:04 PM
I am sure as a military member you have heard this phrase about a million times in the last several years. Interest rates have been so low for so long that home ownership has been easier than ever before for anyone and this especially includes the military population, who until recently didn't feel like they could or should purchase properties. Never before has the military population owned a higher percentage of homes.
The days of base living has changed drastically. With most installations switching over to PPV the climate has changed. The thought of waiting until retirement to purchase a … (20 comments)

bah: Naval Base Kitsap | Is this Legal? Receiving Tax Breaks with Tax Free Money? - 01/06/08 06:01 PM
If you are in the United States Military and receive BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) it is. This is a huge financial opportunity that not many Military members take advantage of for fear of the real estate market and the lack of education concerning real estate ownership.
The average homeowner receives tax breaks associated with home ownership. The yearly property taxes and yearly interest payments are tax deductible on their yearly tax return.

bah: Have a Cell Phone just laying around? Donate it to - Cell Phones for Soldiers! - 12/14/07 03:12 PM
Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist in April of 2004 with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards to sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines serving overseas.
Here is how it works. The cell phones collected are then sent to ReCellular, which in return pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone. The donation is enough to provide an hour of talk time to a military member deployed or stationed overseas.
An estimated 130 million cell … (10 comments)
