We do home and renters there, and our mortgage back in the day.
Since you've served, you're exactly who they're looking for, and not in the normal predatory sort of way soldiers experience.

Not necessarily the case. Insurance premium increases still need to be approved at the state level by the Iowa Insurance Division/Commissioner. This protects the consumer from having their premium jacked up to help off set a large expensive event such as Hurricane Matthew.
So, they aren't like one of the auto dealerships or pawn shops sitting 50 feet outside of every single active duty installation's gates?
I should really look into USAA. The auto quote they gave me back in the day when i was on active duty was crazy high but then I found out that after you get a little older their rates drop like a rock.

This is every army base's reality. It's amazing.
Also spotters in malls looking for young faces with short haircuts that just happen to have official allotment forms ready for your convenience.
Yep! I'm well aware.
Any malls near a training base are full of leaches. Don't even get me started on the car dealerships! What those guys do to young naive Sailors, Airmen, Soldiers, and Marines should be illegal! I know guys that got suckered in to 20% auto loans!

Also, the ATM fees on bases were outrageous, just because they knew they had you.
I remember a few years ago the government had to regulate those payday cash places.
yep you get why I was like well Im finished with State Farm. Everything was always going up in price even after I put a higher deductible ect. Glad I started looking around to see how much can be saved.
Our rates from SF haven't risen.
