Once your orders say Beaufort, the first big decision is where you'll live. Here's a straightforward look at your options, how BAH fits in, and how a VA loan works, using official sources so you can check everything yourself.
Family housing for the Tri-Command (MCAS Beaufort, MCRD Parris Island and Naval Hospital Beaufort) is privatized, under what's called a Public Private Venture (PPV). According to the MCAS Beaufort Military Housing Office, it's run in partnership with Hunt Military Communities and serves active-duty service members and their families, unaccompanied personnel, DoD civilians and retirees assigned to the three commands. You can apply in person at the Military Housing Office (Building 1140 at MCAS Beaufort), or send an advance application by fax or email. More details are on Military OneSource's MCAS Beaufort housing page.
Living on base usually means a shorter commute and no landlord or mortgage to manage. The trade-off is that you generally give up your BAH. Wait times and home availability change, so contact the Military Housing Office as soon as you have orders, even if you're also looking off base.
The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is paid when government quarters aren't provided. It's based on your pay grade, whether you have dependents, and the ZIP code of your permanent duty station, according to the Defense Travel Management Office. A few points worth knowing:
From VA.gov, a VA-backed purchase loan often offers:
You'll need to live in the home. Most borrowers pay a one-time VA funding fee, which can be financed into the loan. According to VA's funding fee page, you're exempt if you receive (or are eligible for, but receive retirement or active-duty pay instead of) VA compensation for a service-connected disability, if you're a surviving spouse receiving Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, if you have a proposed or memorandum rating from a pre-discharge claim before closing, or if you're on active duty and provide evidence of a Purple Heart on or before closing. Your lender will confirm your exact fee.
There's no one right answer. Here's how we help you think it through:
Contact the MCAS Beaufort Military Housing Office, which handles privatized family housing for the Tri-Command (MCAS Beaufort, Parris Island and Naval Hospital Beaufort). You can apply in person at Building 1140 or send an advance application by fax or email.
Use the official DoD BAH Rate Lookup on the Defense Travel Management Office website. Enter your duty station ZIP code, the year and your pay grade. BAH depends on pay grade, dependency status and duty station ZIP code.
Most VA borrowers pay a one-time funding fee, which can be financed into the loan. You're exempt if you receive VA disability compensation (or are eligible for it but receive retirement or active-duty pay instead), receive DIC as a surviving spouse, have a qualifying pre-discharge rating before closing, or are on active duty and show evidence of a Purple Heart by closing.
