5 Long Island Starter Homes On The Market

So you're thinking of buying a home for the first time...

Most first-time homebuyers cant afford the most glamorous homes right away, so they start out with a simpler-looking house, known as a "starter home."

A website called The Balance classifies a starter home as "a 3 bedroom, 2 bath" residence in the suburbs.

"A standard choice for a starter home in a high-cost urban area might be a two bedroom, one bath or maybe even a studio condo," the site says.

These below homes on Long Island are perfect for the first-time homebuyer. Check them out below, courtesy of Realtor.com:
