Business & Finance - 30 June 2007

I am thinking about buying at least one piece of property this quarter and then maybe up to two next quarter. I am interested in learning about investment property. I don't mind sitting on them for a while until the market recovers, because I know what the return will be like.

I am not worried about financing. I have that in place. I just want to if anybody has some good advice for me.

I have found two pieces of property, and I need to decide which one would be better for my breaking my cherry.

Thank you all for your time!

Would you pay more for the apartment with a nice yard that you could enjoy or would you rather have no yard or one that was not maintained for a cheaper price?

These crisps are common in the Pacific Islands and are made from local fruit and vegetables. Initially they can be made at home and contained in plain packaging. But how do you go about getting them into a supermarket chain? Would they need approved packaging and be required to meet any production standards?

I've never been a manager before and I'm really nervous I won't be a good one. What's the one best piece of advice you can give to a newbie manager before she starts her new career?

This can be answered by people who have been managers or by people who have worked under managers.

I am being realistic. Give or take a little on the cash and the time, but not much. Intelligent answers only please.

Is there a site that will tell me the potential "gains" that I will get from doing home repairs?

I know they say if you remodel your kitchen you will get xx% back when you sell...etc etc.

I want to add a room to my house and a wrap around deck, but I don't know if the monies spent would come back to us if we sold.

Thanks.
Dee

I have a small retail business with 4 employees. I already have cash bonuses if they reach a target amount although i am now looking for something to break up the daily routine. Even a little healthy competition =)
Last month i did sales bingo... Once they complete a task on their bingo sheet they cross it off. First one to complete all tasks wins, etc... It went well!
Anyone with some ideas or played games such as this?
Thanks in advance.

I have almost been at my workplace a year and was told by a co-worker that last month one employee was told that raises were ceased because of financial reasons. I need a raise to pay for increase in cost of living and gas prices and was wondering if he has to.
