Resident
There comes a point in almost every military family’s life where they have to ask themselves, “Are my financial obligations going to hurt my Career?” Here’s a short example of one of our team
member’s stories, as an Air Force Veteran, she knows firsthand the difficulties that come along with protecting our country. Nicolette said, “After my divorce and raising a child with one income this was definitely my reality. Roughly 3 in 10 spouses or partners of service members said they do not pay their bills on time and about 1 in 10 said they currently have debts in collection.”
​
However, your failing to pay your debts on time can result in negative information being reported to the credit reporting bureaus. And that negative information on your credit report may cause your security clearance to be pulled when it’s up for review. We have consultants that remember how uncomfortable that feeling is, that life changing conversation altered their thoughts about finances.
​
If you find that your finances have put your security clearance in jeopardy with our help we will design a personalized solution with the results that you deserve to guarantee you peace of mind and knowing that while you’re protecting the country we are protecting your financial future.
Like most Service members that fall into financial hardship, the threat of losing a clearance is a hot-button item – and some debt collectors have been known to use that threat as leverage to get a servicemember to pay. Debt collectors aren’t able to contact your security manager about your debts nor do they have the authority to influence the manager’s decisions about your security clearance.
Landlord

-
Do you feel obligated to be a landlord because you don’t have enough money to sell the house?
-
Do you still think that you’ll return to the home in a later tour, or after you leave the military?
-
Do you think that you’ll be gaining equity from all those rent checks?
-
Is this an investment that will support your financial independence?
There comes a point in almost every military family’s life where they think, where PCS orders come down and you ask yourself “Should we sell this property, or turn it into a rental?”. I understand because I’ve been there, done that. And while becoming a military landlord and owning a rental property isn’t easy, it can be done. But ask yourself this:
This route may just cost you time and peace of mind that are also associated with this decision. Not only are you entrusting someone else--a stranger, most likely--with what’s possibly your biggest financial investment, but you may not be living anywhere close enough to the property to keep an eye on it. Who knows what’s going on behind those closed doors?
With your investment dollars at stake, it’s enough to keep any military landlord up at night!

You don’t have to be shortchanged either, with our help we a design a result that you deserve to guarantee you peace of mind and knowing that while you’re protecting the country we are protecting your financial future.
