Happy New Year!
MilitaryByOwner Advertising, Inc. would like to thank all of our customers for an incredible 2014! Once again, we experienced record growth and continue to look forward to meeting the needs and desires of our customers in 2015! We have some great things to look forward to and we can not wait to share the news with you!
We would also like to send out a special "thank you" to those that choose MilitaryByOwner to advertise their services to our military members. As a way to introduce our subscribers to our fantastic advertisers, we have highlighted our new Business Advertisers for the month of December and are happy to once again feature an advertiser in our Feature column. It is our hope that the next time you are looking for a mortgage lender, agent or property manager, you will turn to MilitaryByOwner for all of your real estate needs.
We are looking forward to participating in SpouseBUZZ Spouse Experience, January 23, 2015 in San Antonio, Texas. If you have not yet experienced the fun at SpouseBUZZ, please be sure to sign up for this spectacular event. We look forward to seeing you!
With a new year comes new BAH rates! While the goal is to continue to reduce the BAH rates in order to have military personnel pay a percentage of housing expenses out of pocket, some rates did increase. Have you checked out to see what the BAH rates are for where you currently live or where you might be PCSing to?
In light of the effect changing housing allowances can have on military renters and landlords, we are sharing an article this month regarding what to do when the rental market exceeds your BAH allowance.
Because the majority of our employees are veterans and military spouses, we understand the stress of military relocation; so if we can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to contact us. You can reach us via email, phone (866-604-9126), live chat, Facebook and Twitter (@militarybyowner). We look forward to speaking with you!

Thanks so much for helping with our listing. Our house rented quickly even though the "hit count" was low in this PCS off-season. However, it only takes one interested renter to seal the deal. I would like to provide a testimonial since we have exclusively used Military By Owner to advertise our house and have rented successfully every single time. The longest the house was empty was 3 months.

Does Rent Exceed BAH in Your Area?
It's been over a year now since "Ketchupgate," the now infamousWashington Post article that decried both the sale of 15 types of ketchup in the commissary at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall and the generous compensation that service members receive.
In collaboration with Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Blue Star Families surveyed 6,200 military families for their annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey, helping to paint a portrait of the modern military family and the challenges it faces. The goal of the survey is to inform decision makers of a more holistic state of military families that what the DOD demographics survey can provide.
