FYI, as a Vet, you'll also be entitled to an additional reduction in (part of) your RE tax assessment.
Amount depends on the details of your service; once you find a location/village/town, the local tax assessor's office will give you the details. Everything helps ;-)
Good pont elke
Also whats the deadline(s) with the Tax Credit $$$.
You could get something in Lindenhurst. I disagree with the poster that said Lindy "went to hell north of 27a". I moved here about 4 years ago and haven't had issues. I'd say stay south of Sunrise and you're fine. Even North of Sunrise is not dangerous or anything, it's just run down.

You can get a good starter with good schools and low taxes in Sound Beach for that. In part of Rocky Point too.
What about if he needs a car loan or the boiler breaks... to keep my head above water, we needed 90K+ and we live in a co-op, barely had money left over.... What kind of living is that???
Crookhaven,,thank you,,Kudos on the Lindenhurst Recco!!! Good Come Buy My Home! Waterfront00 ft and your in the bay! PS> Since construction is totally on Life support,,we live on alot LESS THAN THAT!!!! Cheers!
Thanks for the replies. I guess the wife will have to go to work then. I would use a VA loan (no PMI needed). The internet may be misleading me but it seems like there are a lot of houses in places like Baldwin, masapequa, farmingdale, babylon for less than 350k. I will keep looking. I am making 90k now in SoCal and pretty comfortable, is LI really that much more expensive?
viclom, do the math.. say you bought a house for 350 and put 50 down, your mortgage would be about $1610 @ 5% a month. If by chance you can get a home with property taxes at $6000 they would be at $500 a month. Thats about $2110 a month!
add in a budget of any where from 200 to 500 for utilities
add in homeowners insurance..
would you have a car payment?
Do you have student loans?
What if something breaks?
I was in this situation. 90K didn't cut it.
Consider a condo or co-op.
