TL;DR

This guide provides essential information for active-duty service members buying a home in a new location before a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). It covers key topics including:

VA Occupancy Rules: Learn how your official PCS orders satisfy the VA's residency requirements, allowing you to close on a home remotely.
Remote Closing Process: Understand the importance of using a Specific Power of Attorney (POA) to authorize someone, typically a spouse, to sign closing documents on your behalf and the need for lender approval.
Buying Sight-Unseen: Discover best practices for conducting effective virtual tours and managing remote home inspections and VA appraisals to ensure you make an informed purchase from afar.
Financial Advantages: Find out how you can use the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for your new duty station to increase your purchasing power and qualify for a larger loan.
