Make sure you are including all the costs of homeownership to your BAH... taxes, homeowners insurance, upkeep, etc. Don't they say you figure in an additional 25% when comparing buying to renting. Plus you have to be prepared that you could get stuck with this house should you have to move in the future and have no buyer.
VA financing is a great option.... we took advantage of it when purchasing our first home. But boy are they picky... they do their own walk through approval/appraisal of the house.
