Re: If you own a home, what percentage of your NET monthly income is your mortgage (including taxes and insurance)?
Just above 30%. Until a few months ago it was below 25% but I took a PT position (and had been the higher earner) so that has had an impact.
We live south shore, eastern Suffolk. No help with the purchase.

19.59% - North Shore Suffolk
No help with purchase - used savings and wedding money for 15% down.
It wasn't always that way though, when we purchased 10 years ago though it was probably around 32%.
PMI also dropped off this year so that helped!!

a house in port washington thats 650k is like buying a 1.2mil home in queens.
i saw a home in yonkers 9 bedroom, 7 fireplaces, insaaannely gorgeous and we would afford it. total turn-key..but im afraid to move over there. i dont know anyone 
can you seriously put down less than 20-25% these days??!! the market is soo fkd up over here!! competing with cash buyers 
Let me tell you, we were looking in Bayside originally and felt like we were competing for scraps! We had 25% down but it was nothing. Many buyers use cash because they are backed by their families. We decided to move out to LI . The chaos of home buying is just the beginning. The schools, the activities, even the supermarket is like being on survivor

17% but would be less if we didn't contribute a lot to 401ks. I am also on a PT salary. South Shore

I think a lot of people starting out get help from the bank of mom and dad for help with the I initial down payment. No one talks about it, but for a lot of people I know it is true.
This is very true. Most people I know received help (6 figure down payments or their parents helped build a new home). I am from Queens! I don't think there is anything g wrong with it, but it's true that a lot of people get significant help.

It is roughly 25% but what we take home is not our true net bc of retirement, investments etc. We live very comfortable at 25% and I venture to say we could go up to 30-35% if we needed to

Re: If you own a home, what percentage of your NET monthly income is your mortgage (including taxes and insurance)?
Our mortgage with taxes and insurance is about 11% of our net. We did this purposely so that we could buy a second home which we will do next year. We also do not live in NY. Our taxes are in the low $2000 per year. I do pay Homeowners Association dues but those are less than 1000 per year.
