don't worry about that...I think most people know, the mortgage is the easy part...it's the DP on these exorbitantly expensive homes that's the hard part!

we are still up in the air on this one. it all comes down to dollars and cents, and right now, it looks like we don't have enough of either...

Yea, thats the one thing we're worried about... finding jobs! Hopefully it'll work out.

I know- I love going to look at $800,000 fixer uppers- of $600,000 1 bedroom apartments

Um...don't know, but do know this:

DEFINITELY NYC (Brooklyn ONLY - Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, or Bensonhurst)

I think that's a different situation than what y'all are going through on Long Island.

in LI it seems the prices are more reasonable than they are in the city, but those darn property taxes are killers!

I know Chris, I can't bear to leave my beloved BK!

Hopefully by then we will have a house. Right now we are renting and it is a WASTE of money...Even though my rent is only $717 ( I know u long island girls are freaking, $717 for a 2 bedroom, gotta love the south !!)

We are definetly not going to rent or buy on Long Island. I live in Valley Stream and work in Manhattan and the thought of commuting longer than 45 min or an hour or more turns me off. FI works in Brooklyn. We are thinking BK or Qns.

Cant wait to get rid of my LIRR monthly pass!

We are closing on our first house on Thursday!!!! FH & I refused to rent!
