RTT for da win!!

 

I made out like a bandit. Great deal.

 

Here is the original sale thread.

If you can afford a house, then you should check it out. It will only go up in value. The only real problem with living off base is the traffic. I live in navy housing off base. It's like 2 miles at most away. It's ok, but if I had to do it again I'd move on to Hickam.

 

Not looking to buy initially, possibly just rent. Is it true some of the military off base houses give you some of your BAH back?

 

This is true. But on base housing offers money back too. But you sign for short leases that often change once the time is up. Worst case is they charge you full bah. They can't make it more.

 

Can I ask how much you paid for the S/H to Hawaii? Such a killer set-up.

 

Sounds pretty sweet. Any specific military communities you recommend for a family that has 2 kids both under 5yrs old and 2 dogs? I'm about to put my orders in for the wait list.

 

Here's my peace offering gift since I am new to the Oahu thread,

Anybody who needs parts from the mainland brought over (RTT, bumpers, tires, etc. big bulky items) and can wait till like october 2016 to get them, I don't mind claiming them as my house hold goods and having them shipped over with my stuff. I'm gonna have plenty weight to spare.

 

Nobody (landlord) would give BAH back unless you actually know them and maybe make some kind of deal.

 

Idk alot of the community websites for the military housing says you receive up to $1100 of your BAH back. I am just inquiring because I have never heard of it happening stateside.

 

How and who would you get that money back from, when you have to pay your rent every month? Maybe times have changed but when I was living off post and receiving BAH, I never heard of anyone getting their money back.

 

Idk this is why I am trying to clear this up.

 

Well shit. There was no place like that to rent from on Schofield when I was there. You either lived in military housing (NO BAH), or off post (a butt load of BAH). I guess times did change. There you go, you get 15% back from Island Palm Communities.

 

Very nice introduction... Maybe someone may take you up on a RTT.. Tires through Amazon prime is Free. Also Boss 4x4 and Pelfrey are Hawaiian family, so they ship pallets here often.

 

I'm all about sharing the love, hoping when I get there I'll be accepted among the Toyota scene on the island despite my lazy eye, speech impediment , and tendency to scream random profanities at inanimate objects.

 

Yeah I have never seen anything like it, my only guess is that there are competing military housing communities. There's gotta be some kinda catch though. Hoping some in here has found the catch.

 

I bought the tent before moving here. I had it shipped over with my household goods.

 

Here is the problem I had. I have no children but I do have 2 dogs. Finding a place to rent that allowed dogs was very hard. I was pretty much forced to live in military housing since buying wasn't really an option with me already tied down with a house in FL.

 

I'm guessing you bought while you were at school in Eglin?
