YOUR NEW HOME COULD BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

One of the first questions military families ask when relocating to a new duty station is: 

“Can we afford to buy a home near Moody AFB?”

The answer can depend on your rank, family status, home price, taxes, insurance, HOA costs, financing, and other factors—but there are new homes in the Valdosta and Hahira area where the monthly housing expense can be at or near a family’s BAH. 

That’s worth exploring before automatically assuming that renting is your only option. As your D.R. Horton New Home Specialist, I can assist you in reviewing homes, available floor plans, incentives, and financing options so you can compare the numbers for yourself.

Don’t assume buying is out of your reach. Let’s run the numbers.

VA FINANCING OPTIONS FOR YOUR MOODY PCS

For qualified military buyers, VA financing options can be an essential part of the home-buying equation. Depending on the current program, your qualifications, and the home you select, there may be financing options that can help make a new home fit within your monthly housing budget.

DHI Mortgage also offers financing programs for qualified buyers purchasing D.R. Horton homes, including valuable VA loan options.

A CURRENT EXAMPLE

One financing option that may be particularly relevant to a service member planning to spend approximately three to four years at Moody AFB is a 5-year fixed-rate VA ARM. This means the interest rate is fixed during a period when many service members may still be at their Moody assignment. After the initial fixed period, an ARM can adjust according to its terms, so it’s crucial to understand the complete loan structure and consider your long-term plans before selecting this type of financing.

Rates, programs, incentives, and eligibility are subject to change. Contact DHI Mortgage for current rates, terms, and qualification requirements.

PCS DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN RENTING

A three- or four-year assignment doesn’t automatically mean that buying a home near Moody Air Force Base is out of the question. Your situation is different from someone planning to remain in the same house for 20 or 30 years.

If you’re moving to Moody for a few years, your decision should take into account:

• Your BAH  
• Your expected monthly housing expense  
• Your down payment and closing costs  
• Your VA eligibility  
• Current interest rates  
• Available builder incentives  
• How long you expect to remain at Moody 
• The potential options when you receive your next PCS

The right decision depends on your individual circumstances. My role is to help you understand the options and the numbers so you can make an informed decision.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PCS AGAIN?

Military families understand that another PCS may eventually come into play. If you purchase a home near Moody and later receive orders to another duty station, you may have several options depending on your circumstances.

SELL

You may choose to sell your home when you receive your next PCS.

RENT

Some military homeowners opt to retain their property and rent it out after moving to their next duty station.

KEEP IT AS AN INVESTMENT

Depending on your financial situation, the property could potentially transform into a longer-term investment. Your future options will depend on the property’s value, market conditions, financing, taxes, rental economics, and your unique circumstances.

Buying a home is a significant financial decision. Ensure you understand the numbers before proceeding.
