So let's say there's 29,750 remaining on the mortgage (for a 3 bed 2.5 bath @ 545/mth). It states to talke over the existing mortgage payments. No money down. Is this too good to be true. Only pay $454 a month on a home like this until it's paid off? Please help with explaining how to take over a foreclosure home. Thanks.

My wife and I want to buy a house about the middle of 2008. Right now we only have one car that we use to commute to work and I also use the car to drive from site to site as a repair technician. We have heard both sides, but we don't know whether we should go ahead and buy a new car now or wait until after we buy our house. If we wait then we would probably buy one with cash. Which way is best? My parents say to buy a house first then buy a car, but her parents say the opposite.

Someone told me the agencies normally buy these accounts for a fraction of the amount due, then collect what they can, sometimes accepting half as a payoff amount. If I had had the money, I would have paid it off originally, but right now I'm not even making it paycheck to paycheck and the collections agency will not set up monthly automatic withdrawals or anything other than the full amount. Any suggestions? I'm not debating I owe the money, just can not pay it at this time.

I believe that renting is a waste of money. I am interested in pooling my money with 3 of my friends to purchase a nice home where we can all live in for 3-5 years. We are all 25 year old males with different future paths. We make a combined 200k per year and we would attempt to split all costs evenly. Could this work? What should we do if one of us wants to move out? Would their be any problems later on with selling the house? Please help!!!!

Ok, here's the deal:

1. I will receive a 1099-Misc for $3,000 from organization X.

2. Throughout the year I received 3 $95 honoraria payments from organization Y, which I am not sure whether I will receive a 1099-Misc from.

3. I received a one time $200 service compensation from oraganization Z, which I am not sure whether I will receive a 1099-Misc from.

Note: Income from organization X will be declared on Schedule C of my 1040.

Questions:
1. Do I have to report income from organization Y and Z on Schedule C if I receive 1099-Miscs, eventhough, they are both less than $600?

2. If I don't receive 1099-Miscs, do I report the income from organization Y and Z on Schedule C?

I was recently terminated from my position. Although the boss my not pleased with my over all performance,
I parted gracefully about two days ago. One of my friends, a professional told me that although I was there for 3 months on a parttime basis I should still seek a letter of reccomendation based upon the theory that although I was not a good fit for that particular company, I can still be marketed as a good fit for another company. My other friend, another professional and a manager at that , told me that I should let by-gones be by-gones based upon the theory that if someone puts the time and energy to get rid of someone then then why would they want to promote that person and make that person another person's headache. I kind of feel as though, I really do not have much to lose. Although I was only at this place for three months it was an advertising agency and the mere fact that I was able to get my foot in the door was a credit to me . Still a good person.

I just wanted to know. I work full time ... an 8 hour day. I wanted to know when I am officially supposed to take my lunch. I get here at 9 am and am off at 6pm. Sometimes I don't get to take my lunch till 2:30 or 3pm. That doesn't seem right ... does it?

My boss says go whenever ... but then when I am ready to go ... nobody is here or nobody can cover my position. So what's the deal?

Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

I keep hearing sites that are spamming. What is the true meaning of SEO Spam? I've built a site for my parents and it ranks very well under terms such as berkshires listings, berkshires realtors, berkshires real estate and the berkshires. These are all keyword phrases I feel are approciate for their berkshires real estate business.

Site is: http://www.zteamsells.com

When looking at property records, it seems that most houses have a much lower assessed value than what the home actually appraised and sold for. Why is this?

For instance: A home is appraised for $100,000, yet the county's assessment of the property is only $69,000.
