How to buy before you report

Your BAH can count as income when you qualify. Look up your new rate on the official DoD BAH lookup.

  1. As soon as you have orders

    Reach out and get pre-approved. Look up the BAH rate for your new location so you know what fits.

  2. Shop from where you are

    Tour homes by video with a local agent, and use house-hunting leave if you can get it.

  3. Make an offer and close

    You can often sign your closing papers from your current station. If you'll be away, a specific power of attorney can work. Tell us early so we set it up correctly.

  4. Move in

    The VA expects the home to be your main residence, usually within about 60 days of closing. If you're deployed, your spouse living there can count.
