[quote=Anonymous]OP- just curious but why would you want to buy in an area that generally has flat appreciation when you plan to only keep it for 2 years? MoCo and MD in general has pretty bad appreciation even in Wootton let alone rural areas further out. You won't make back the transaction costs.

Young kids will of course say living on a farm would be neat. They have no idea what it would be like to live in rural community and be isolated. It seems very selfish for a parent to consider this and think gee its with the kids blessings so it would be fine for them.

I'd caution you to really watch your kids now that the oldest is in middle school. Your family lived in Delhi for 6 years so both kids had a chance to make friends. They'll have made new friends now in Dufief which is a pretty welcoming environment to kids. If you move in another 2 years, it will be hard on your kids as they realize they can't form close friendships because they'll always be moving away. I have several friends in the foreign service and military. It has been hard on the kids. Its important to do everything you can to find places where they can fit in and build some stability not just be part of your adventures. [/quote]
