5 New Experiences You’ll Have Living Off Base For the First Time

3. Stereotypes

We just can’t seem to get away from this one, can we?

Yes, apparently there are stereotypes about being a renter. I haven’t personally experienced this one and I wasn’t even aware of the concept until fairly recently.

A fellow Mil-Spouse mentioned that there were negative comments being made on a social media thread about renters. I couldn’t understand why. Apparently, people who rent their homes vs. owning them outright are viewed as messy, lazy slobs who inevitably bring property values down.

What? That’s a THING?

Yea.

My husband and I, as well as many other military families, have chosen to postpone joining the home-buyers club until he is retired from the military. That is us being fiscally responsible for our future, yet it would appear that this elite group of homeowners has decided to lump us in with a generalization rather than take the time to think that one through.

What disturbed me the most was learning that some neighborhood communities have ‘no renter’ policies. I had no idea!

It’s already hard enough to find housing on or off base, but that could DEFINITELY add to the frustration, I’m sure.
