New O1 here. My current plan is getting out in four years. I’m stationed at the location I plan to stay at after my service obligation. I have around $23,000 in student loans.

    Houses here range from 150-250k in relatively nice neighborhoods with a decent education system. I’m wondering if I should use the opportunity to buy a home asap as I plan on remaining here for the foreseeable future. Any insight?

    The BAH for my area is 1188. Despite my first few paychecks I’m pretty broke due to some personal hardships over the last few years so I know this would be a little ways away. My family was terrible with finances and I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ll be getting married next summer as well so I’m anticipating additional costs around that time.

    Should I buy a home?
