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.

The average Military homeowner receives tax breaks associated with home ownership. The yearly property taxes and yearly interest payments are tax deductible on their yearly tax return, also. However, the Military member receives all of these tax breaks with tax free money since the basic housing allowance (BAH) is tax free. Wow! What an incentive to purchase a home while serving in the Military.

With tax season here and Military W-2' being released (See MyPay release Schedule here) you should really  Military Tax Benefitstake a hard look at your future financial picture. Are you taking advantage of all your Military benefits? Are you paying more taxes at the end of the year because you have no "tax shelter", no way of filing the "long form"? Are you just coasting by blinded because you think it is too risky to purchase property while serving in the Military? If you need tax advice please seek a professional tax advisor.

If you can answer yes to several of these questions you really need to look deeper into the process of Military homeownership.

  • Have you been saving for a home?
  • Is your credit profile in good shape?
  • Is the tour of duty longer than 2 years?
  • Can you anticipate coming back to the area?
  • Could you be a landlord if you needed?
  • Can you budget two housing payments in the future?

Take a look at:  New 2009 BAH Rates Released | Naval Base Kitsap | Bremerton | Bangor | PSNS | Naval Hospital Bremerton  and see the possibilities.

Jo:  Military members are one of the elite who get to double dip on the "TAX FREE"& "Tax Deductible"  money!  BAH money is not part of the base pay rate, so why not let the government pay for your equity?  What goes down must come back up!  Well said...
