Since your family will not be with you, any chance you can live in military billeting? It might not be ideal living on post. You may have to be on a waiting list to get a house, or town house on post, but there is always the barracks. I know, you'll be subject to inspections and have no privacy, but financially it would be much easier. The military has a responsibility to house you somewhere. It might not be what you like, but you won't have the high cost and over-head of maintaining two living quarters: one for you at your new post, and the other for your family. You are given housing allowance for your family to live somewhere, even if you live in military billeting.
