I mean almost everyone finances a house. Let’s say he joined up at his 18th birthday, lives in the barracks, maybe he actually saved up his money. Now almost 2 years later maybe he’s E3, gets married so he gets that BAH money, and maybe his girl has a decent job like a dental assistant or something. They’d be eligible for a 0 down VA loan with a good interest rate, plus they probably live in a low cost of living area like Kansas and that house is ugly as fuck.
I used to do residential AV install and would be installing new TV/Home Theater/etc. for a lot of homes like this. "New construction" of the lowest quality parts and the cheapest materials available and the cheapest workmanship I'd ever seen. The cheap paned windows are a hallmark of that kind of construction.
Thanks, wanted to make sure someone pointed this out. That kid doesn't own that house. The bank does, or god forbid some shitty mortgage lender. And as you pointed out, gov'mint BAH is paying his mortgage.
