I have been a reservist for awhile, but plan on going active duty. I understand the costs associated with buying a home and then reselling it. Is it worth the small to go through all of this at each station for a small equity or is it just better to rent until you are near retirement and get a station where you want to own a home? I know the housing market probably makes this answer lean more toward renting (since now prices change alot and it is hard to sell a house).
