I’m a DA civilian (GG-12) who will be moving to Wiesbaden soon and will qualify for LQA.
I’m considering buying a house instead of renting and had a few questions:

1. Can LQA be used toward a mortgage payment? I read somewhere that it can cover up to about 10% of the home’s purchase price per year. Is that accurate?
2. For those who have bought a house in the Wiesbaden/Kaiserslautern/Ramstein area while receiving LQA, what was your experience?
   • How much down payment did the bank require to approve the loan?
   • Any tips or things to watch out for when using LQA for a mortgage?
   Any advice or real experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
