Move Logistics: Door-to-Door vs. Temporary Housing
Is this a door-to-door move or will you be in temporary housing? The ideal move is from door to door, but it doesn't always work out that way.
Military buyers often wait until after arrival at the new duty station to close on the new home; after arrival, they expect to close within a couple of days. In the meantime, they stay in temporary housing on the base.
Service members have a maximum of 10 days to house hunt. Most take less. If you are unable to view a home you are interested in, I will take video or video call you so you can see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
There are advantages and disadvantages to a government move and doing it yourself, (PPM).
SOME ADVANTAGES ARE
The service member is entitled to 95 percent of what the military would pay.
Door-to-door control of household goods.
SOME DISADVANTAGES ARE
Expenses can exceed the 95 percent entitlement.
Service member must find a weighing station.
Dislocation Allowance (DLA)
Helps with miscellaneous moving costs that are not covered by other allowances. In general, it is paid once per PCS move. It is based on rank and dependent status.
