Here's the situation...my daughter is in the USAF. She was
recently married to a fellow airman she met at her last
assigmnent. Now she is settling into her next assignment.
He will finish his schooling shortly and join her there
in January. She is living at the base hotel, and they will
let her stay there 10 days b/f she has to start paying.
She is trying hard to find housing off base as they have no
family housing on base, but she had no credit history, and
the apartment places she has visited do not want to rent
to them, saying they don't make enough money. She is getting
really nervous about this b/c she has been there since Dec.
9 and still doesn't have a place to call home. Anyone been
thru this type of thing before? Any suggestions?

You could look online for your daughter and see what you could find her. Im sure there are some places they could rent with not having much credit. Maybe even some places that are low income. They should be able to help her find something that she can afford.

Thanks for your answer. My husband tells me that she will
be paying about the same rent to stay in the hotel as she
would in an apt. Plus, no elec or water bill in the base
hotel. But of course it is not the same as having your
own space and appliances, etc., and being able to set up
housekeeping as newlyweds. She just gets so frustrated
when things don't go smoothly. I guess that is just part
of growing up.

I'm happy to report that she got into her new apt. a few
days ago and is eagerly awaiting her husband and a ship
ment of furniture that is on its way. She is happily sleeping
on the floor in her sleeping bag, watching dvds on her lap
top, and is able to have real food and cook. Be it ever so humble...
