    The obvious option would be to move into SLA on the base your at, then your only outlay would be your house.

    From there, seek a residential mortgage (ie consent to let) and rent the house out. This can be through a letting firm, or from someone in the paper.

    Obviously the posting is going to be for a whilst, unless your about to leave the forces soon.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Hi

    If you are in SLA I know that you can claim back some money (although i don't know what its called could be part of Get You Home) to visit the house every month to 'check up' on it. Now whether you are entitled to that if you are living out at you new camp i don't know.
  • thanks for your help,,, i`m claiming somthing per month which pays for petrol twice a month to ensure my house hasn`t fallen down.
