How much does your house cost you a month?

This is really cheeky but I was wondering if anyone would share how much they pay a month for their house such as bills mortgage and stuff and what sort of house they live in.
I'm looking at buying a 2 bedroom semi detached but just wanting a rough idea on how much it costs a month.

Lifetime ISA- Can me and my partner both use an isa each on one property and get the full bonuses?

I have been looking into life time isas for first time buyers. Both me and my partner will be first time buyers so my question is:
If we both open a separate account and save as much as we can, when it comes to paying the deposit for a mortgage can we use both accounts and our full savings together. Will we each have the bonuses applied?

Boyfriend and I are ready to move. We were thinking of getting a loan together and putting a down payment

So I'm applying for loan, and he is my coborrower. Our credit is fair. We don't have any debts or dues.

We're currently renting from a private landlord. She is crazy. We need to move. Getting an apartment seems expensive. We have 2 more couples that want to move and would be willing to split rent for a 3-4bedroom house. My boyfriend and I think it would be in our best benefit to buy a house.

I don't know how mortgages work and even though I'm researching them I still don't really understand.

Let's say we get a loan of 100,000 dollars.
The house we want costs 89,000. What would the mortgage be?

Also we're in our early 20s. I don't feel like this is a mistake, but are we making a mistake? We would like to move to a different state eventually and figure we can sell our mortgage when we're ready if we're able.

New Tax Law 2018: give to charity every other year?

Say you have 30,000 in combined state/local/property tax, 10,000 in mortgage interest deduction, and 4,000 in charitable contributions each year, for two years in a row.

Under 2017 law: 44,000 in deductions (way more than the 13K standard deduction) each year, easy.

Under 2018 law: 10,000 cap on state/local/property, plus 10,000 mortgage, plus 4,000 charity = 24,000 deductions each year, same as standard deduction.

Alternate under 2018 law: give 0 to charity in first year (and take 24,000 in standard deduction), and give 8,000 to charity in second year (and take 28,000 itemized deductions).

Am I seeing this right, did I miss anything?
Added (1). Greg: the biggest chunk of that is property tax, which pays for good schools. Much cheaper than private schools!

Will I Get back on money from my closing costs/house purchase when I file my taxes this year?

Just closed on a house on December 8th in NJ. Down payment + closing costs came out to about $12,000. Is there anything I can do, when I do my taxes, to get money back from this house purchase with closing costs, interests, anything? Asked my mortgage guy but he couldn t tell me. I guess I ll reach out to an accountant to do my taxes going forward cause this stuff really confuses me. Just wondering if anyone here was familiar with this sort of thing.

Thanks

I all my $38,000 in bitcoin when Bitcoin was at $19,000 what should I do?

I bought 2 bitcoin at about $19,000 for $38,000. It included all of my life savings and took out a $10,000 loan.

I thought it would keep going higher and I'd take my money out when it doubled but now I'm down over $11,000!

I feel so bad because I told my wife I only bought a little bit of Bitcoin but she doesn't know I put our savings into it or about the loan yet. I wanted to surprise her when I doubled our money so we could pay our mortgage off sooner.

This is everything I have.
What should I do?

Maybe it will go back up so I can break even.

What is the maximum mortgage I could get with a credit rating of 0 and a part time job with a annual salary of around £18K?

What is the maximum mortgage I could get with a credit rating of 0 and a part time job with a annual salary of around £18K? - 1
Added (1). I've recently been looking at house prices and the feasible ones are around £200K, that's crazy money, I only have savings of £8K (took me half a year to get that). Working up to a good credit score before getting a loan is not an option, I'm 32 and never used credit before, it's too late.

How can I get a condo?

I saw a really nice one. I viewed it the very day it was listed. I made an offer the same day. The seller decided to take a cash offer. I had a mortgage approval an everything. I was so crushed. Now I fear I'll never get a condo. How will I get a condo when all they want is to accept cash offers? I fear I'll be stuck in apartments forever.

How do I rent a place cheaply?

I don't mean the price of the place itself, I mean like if it was leased to me or starting a mortgage. How would I rent a room or flat for free? I'm 25 and I want to move out next year by October 2018 cos I'm tired of family home. I want to move on with my life and I think I will probably have a job in my grad field by then. People say you can wait until you're 30 before you leave yet parents for good but I don't see myself as being here any longer than many months more. How could I plan well to secure accommodation cheaply? I have a job at the moment, it's equivalent to minimum wage job and I will go back to do full time 28 hrs at the end of my uni studies around July.
