I was up in NY this Jan and my niece just bought a fixer upper in PJS for $325,000 !! Good Luck with your budget. If I was you I would rent and keep saving until you have a bigger down payment to get you into a nicer home/area.

Hell I have a completely remodeled 2b/2b 1car garage in a beautiful area in FL I can sell you for $150,000

I'm in the southern market for 3 br, 2 ba, 2 car garage, northern east coast with good short term rental potential.

As for the first time home buyers -- Crooks' suggestion Ridge/Lake Panamoka was good and certainly closer to Brookhaven.

Thanks all. The commute might be a bit much from Sound Beach to to Brookhaven area--it's about 33 minutes but if we find a nice house there.

Too bad we have no reason to go to FL--it does seem you can get more for your money the more south you go.

Know any good contractors? :P

You can find houses in Mastic/Mastic Beach/Shirley for under 200k. I grew up there, lived there for 28 years... had one "bad" neighbor for a couple years. Other than that never had a problem. I have never been to prison, been shot at, or scared... I graduated from William Floyd, went to college, and now have a good paying job.
