I'm looking for something cheap since I'm just out of college. The exterior of the building is already covered. I guess all I have to worry about is fire and theft on the interior.

we probably owe more on our house than we could get out of it but we need to get out of here due to major reason,
I was wanting to know how much it is going to cost to sell our house and what the whole process includes, thanks!

Do your credit score need to be higher to get an interest only or ARM loan? Are the downpayments higher? I have a median score of 602, income/debt ratio is fine. Looking to buy a house to stop wasting money in rent. It will not be my dream house and moving in 5-7 years will not be a problem. The housing market in my area is doing ok, dont anticipate any problems selling later.

My sister is executor of Mom's will. We are closing on her house. The house is still in Mom's name. We are the only two inheritors. My sister says I can grant her power of attorney and she can sign all the papers legally. She also says our husbands do not need to sign anything because it is an inheritance. Is this correct?

My landlord issued a letter to all of the apartments in our building advising that he would give a 48-hr notice to CHECK THE GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE UNITS. I asked him WHAT specifically he was looking at and he said PER THE CALIFORNIA TENANT HANDBOOK HE LEGALLY HAS THE RIGHT TO ENTER THE UNIT TWICE A YEAR. I could not find anything remotely close to this other than for emergencies, general repairs, and should be between business hours, typically 8am or 9am to 5pm on weekdays.. What is this fool talking about and can someone show me WHERE in the CALIFORNIA tenants handbook this is listed?

-Apply for house loan with false numbers...
-Get the loan and move in...
-Then get caught with the false numbers...

I saw it happen with grossly exagerated numbers. I just wanted to know what could happen to the borrower if they are caught after moving in.

Hi I just wanted to get some diverse opinions on this topic that will be crucial to an assignment I am completing for uni. My question is, audits are important for companies as they certify that the proceedings of the company are legit and so forth.
But there are times when certain factors affect the efficiency of an audit. Would you (the community familiar with business and finance) agree that the main reason audits cannot be completed on time is because of a lack of cooperation between the auditor and the client? or is there another factor that affects the efficiency of an audit?

specific and extensive answers are most welcome

Just trying to figure out my options here. I could just sell the home, but that's taxes galore. Is there a tax-free way to get this money to be usable for a time, without getting shafted by the bank?

I'll be 17 in two months, I'm planning on getting my own apartment. These apartments go off income, and I make around 650$ a month. I'm willing to work more hours then I already am if needed.

So I have a couple questions.
- Could a parent sign a lease for me, in their name with the apartment complex knowing that my dad isn't going to be living there with me. Will they okay it? If I prove I'm financially stable.
- Can I apply for food stamps at 17 if I live on my own?


Also, my parents said I have to leave when I'm 17, or else I'd stay until my 18th birthday. I have a 3.8 in school, and I've never been in trouble with the law.

My ex is filing for bankruptcy, he is 60grand in debt. A couple a months ago my 89 Berlina finally died and as an extremely nice gesture he financed a 2004 commodore but put it in my name as we had just found out our one year son needed surgery and would require many car trips to Princess Margaret Hospital.

But as the story goes he is way in over his head now and cannot afford the repayments on all of his debts.

But seeing as he put the car in my name I was wondering if they will take my car away. I'm not upset if they do but I was wondering if they can take a car off someone that was given to them as a gift.

The "Do Not Call" list will soon be offered in Canada, and I would like to take advantage of it to block myself from telemarketers. I still want to receive calls from businesses and services who I am already a customer with (my phone company, my bank, etc.). Is there a way to allow calls from those companies, or will they be disallowed because I would be on the list?
