7 House-Hunting Tips for Military Families
House hunting for military families is a bit different than what our civilian counterparts go through. We’re usually working on a compressed timetable due to a PCS move, may deal with negotiations long distance, or have one spouse accomplishing much of the legwork while the other is deployed or away for duty. Whatever the reason you’ve decided to buy a home, whether it’s a long-term investment or your “forever home,” start with these seven tips for your best house-hunting experience:
Attend the Things
Whether you’re a veteran who has just started a new civilian job or a military spouse trying to maintain a career despite yet another PCS, sometimes it feels like all of your challenges boil down to one: Keep all the plates spinning (and in the air).
It seems like it should be enough, this focus on sustaining what you already have. There’s a cyclical quality to it that’s almost hypnotic (or maybe you’re just really that tired).
Marriage: “I needed to hear that!”
This time of year is a tradition for weddings, which is why I thought of revisiting some of the advice from my FlipTip book: Barely Married: Navigating the first years of a military marriage.
Being early in a marriage and new to the military lifestyle can be a daunting experience. Both bring lots of new challenges, and many new joys. The key is to find ways to make them both work together.
We’ll smooth out some of the speed bumps you might incur along the way by bringing you helpful tips, information, and advice right from others who have lived through exactly what you’re feeling now. You just might find yourself saying, “I needed to hear that!” For those of you who have been “married to the military” for longer, you may find something below that you’ve forgotten about. We can all use reminders.
3 Ways to Find Your Perfect Rental
While it may not be realistic for military families to buy our dream home at each duty station, that doesn’t mean you can’t still have the perfect rental home for you.
Visualization for Runners
If you have a training program for your fitness routine, you probably spend a lot of time focused on it. The following is a technique used by Tina Muir which I want to share with you. It’s so easy to think that training is only physical but it’s also training your mind, and we often overlook that mental focus.
