Anything I should watch out for with Zecco?

I have a middle Fico Score of 669. I would like to do a 80/20 loan on a house that is $335,000.00. Will I qualify with that score or is it still too low?

My friend is buying a piece of realestate (multiplex) with tenants with one year leases. He wants to move in immediatly. Can he cancel old leases and kick them out or what because he will be the new owner of the property?

I'm purchasing a home and I want a 30-year fixed rate. When looking for a lender, besides the interest rate, what other question do I need to ask?

I'm a college student studying engineering with a fairly well paying job for my age (roughly 3k monthly salaried and 401K). I live with my parents and they declare me as a dependant.

Should I file a 1 or a 0 on the W-4? Which will get me more cash in the long run?

At what income level do I need to start declaring a '1' while still living with my parents? When I move out do I need to file a '1' regardless of income level?

I was let go from my job this past week. I knew it was coming for about 3 months. Here's the thing. I came back from maternity leave 6 months ago and everything seemed to be going relatively well, with the exception that I had alot of missed days (half days, coming in late for doctors appointments). But this was not anything new, as I already had 2 children at home and always had the same situation.

Well, all of a sudden, I had a yearly review that was horrible! Where previously (2 weeks earlier) my boss could say nothing but great things about me and told me that I was 100% (insert business name), all of a sudden I had never been a team player and blah, blah, blah. 1 month later I had a follow up to my horrible review, 2 weeks later I had another (where I was informed that I had been put on probation 2 weeks earlier). Long story, anyway, I am to keep quiet or get nothing and I have to sign a contract that says so. Do I have any recourse? Please, help me!

i have a pretty good job right now with benefits & retimrent and pretty good pay. also has job security. problme is im a custodian which i cant imagine doing the rest of my life. i have a chance to go to an American Barr Associatoin approved paralegal college, but the schedule there conflicts with the schedule of my job. so in order to complete the program i will hae to find a day time job which probsably wont be as good as my current job, but i will get the good degree out of it and then have a chance to move up and its more of a career track than the custodian thing. so should i quit my good job and temporarily get a worse job for the sake of furthering my future in the long run? what do u think? thanks !

Tenants moved out. I called servicemaster to come out and clean but they wanted 50$/hr per man. It was easily going to eat up the security deposit without finishing because of the large mess. I had my brother help me for 5 days. I want to pay him a reasonable wage for the work, but think 50$/hr would raise eyebrows with the tenants.

I had tenants move out. The lease states no smoking in the house. The place reeks of smoke and there are ashtrays filled with ash left behind. There are burn marks in the carpet, but not enough to have it removed. They weren't supposed to put holes in the walls either, but there are large holes from shelves, speakers, and furniture. How do I charge for this from the security deposit?

I kicked out his girlfriend and told him that he could continue to rent from my boyfriend and I. I also lowered the rent a coulple of hundred dollars. He chose to move out as well. But all of his stuff is still here, taking up two rooms of space that I could be using, instead of paying for storage else where. How much should I charge him for storing his stuff here?

For example a stock last traded for $10/share on Friday and Monday morning I bid $9/share. Is that a trailing stop?

I am renting out a house in Texas. This is the first time I've ever rented a house. The lease will expire in three months. Are the tenants required to sign another lease and renew for another year or does it automatically got to a month-to-month lease? My aunt says they don't sign another lease, it just turns into a month-to-month lease. This somehow doesn't seem right to me. I thought that there is supposed to be another rental contract. My aunt says that only applies to apartments, not houses.

I just got my ex's state tax refund ($360) because he owed $2200 in back child support. When can I expect the federal refund? Will the federal refund amount likely be enough to pay off what he owes?

I am considering contacting a local agency. I have no credit card debt...its mainly old utility and medical bills holding me back. What is your experience or opinion on these companies?

Thank you in advance.

I am about $5,000 in debt (NONE OF WHICH IS FROM A CREDIT CARD...I'VE NEVER HAD ONE) and my credit score is a lot lower than I would like it to be. Most of my balance is either medical or utility.

If I pay a $100 balance with a doctors office how much will it raise my score? Or in general if I pay anything off on my credit report how much does it raise the score?

I bought a home and made a higher offer with a big credit on closing costs to be paid by the seller. A loan officer told me the points may still be deductible as the credit amount on the closing docs do not show what they are paying for.

High percent of employment earn 24,000 a year and is almost impossible to purchase home. Second, most parents had to work to support family - where does children go? home alone? What happened to all old fashion way. Mothers home for children to come home. Dinner is served. Third, Gas price has increased but our salary hasn't. There is circle of economic is broken.
