There is a site I once found that I believe uses Zillow or Trulia to display a line graph of housing prices over time. I would like to be able to view the housing prices for certain types of houses (i.e. 3 bedroom versus 4 bedroom) by zipcode or address over time. Does anyone know of a site that lets me view this type of graph?

There are lots of tools out there that are supposed to help you to find your professional calling - e.g., what color is your parachute, the myers-briggs personality inventory, the strong interest inventory, etc.

What do you think is the most useful and accurate? Anyone have any data on which has the most effectiveness on helping people to figure out what career path to pursue?

What is an appropriate starting amount of money you should have available in order to begin building a portfolio, considering that online brokerage firms charge fees for transactions? Is it appropriate to invest something as small as $100 or is that fairly pointless due to brokerage fees? How about $250, $500, $1000, $2000, $5000, $10,000? What would you recommend to a friend as being the least amount (in dollars) to invest and still make it 'worth their time'?

A few months back I found land for $10,000 in Spring Texas on e-bay, but did not have the savings back then and have had no luck finding similar values so far.

I am just looking for a basic .5 acre-or-larger lot to invest in (and later build a home on).
Are there any online sites, real-estate, auction, or otherwise that would sell land in that price range (that wouldn't be more than 30 miles outside the city), for a clear title?

We have recently bought a home and just learned that a Walmart has puchased the open field across the street. I am wondering if the Home Oweners Association, seller or realtor was required to disclose this information if they were aware of it.

I am 15 years old and have had trouble with depression and have been in trouble with the law, I understand that this is the time to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. I have decided between two professions; A psychiatrist, to help out kids that suffer from depression, or a cop to help the community and to help kids not be drug users and make mistakes like I have. I need help in deciding, thanks all.

I am 51 years of age and recently divorced. I have never looked at my credit report until now. My ex-wife told me that if I did, it would take points off of my credit report. My question is: when I viewed the credit report, it had my wrong birthdate, three social security numbers that weren't mine (mine wasn't on it) several addresses that I had never lived at (they appeared to be typos) and it was only two pages long, yet I am a self-employed person and have had lots of credit history. (By the way, she is an accountant and did my bookkeeping.) Can someone explain how I could have credit when my own social security number wasn't even on the report, nor' the right birthdate?
Thank-you.

at becoming the controller. The owner has hired me to replace his girlfriend at a local dealership. But I make $35,000 and work 45-50 hours a week. They have told me there will be a significant raise within 6 months and I have this in writing as well. I will be replacing the owners girlfriend as controller. I am not sure how much of a raise they will give once I do become controller, however, I will have to work 8am-6pm Monday thru friday and 9am-5pm two saturdays out of the month. Is this all worth it?

I already am a home owner and am looking to buy a plot of land to build my dream home.

I have around £13,000 in savings and have just found a plot for £45,000.

Question is: Can you get a mortgage just to buy the plot of land? Ie 45k - 13k i need 32k loan.

The plan is to buy land just now and sit on it for a while, then the idea is to sell my house, then the money from the house goes into the buld, this being around £140k. When im ready maybe in around a years time.

Is there any loan companies or building societys that offer loans for this?
Or a loan company that will lend more than 25K on a personal loan?

Uk people to answer only please.

Thanks for help, any links or leads much appreciated.

I'm starting in fall and even though i 've received scholarships and grants there is still money that needs to be paid in either the form of a loan or out of pocket. My parents are willing to pay the remaining portion just as long as at least part of it is tax deductable, if not they told me that i have to get the loans. They are going to be paying $5,000 per semester. I'm going to be attending a private school the tuition is $33,000 and the Room and Board is $10,000 totaling $43,000 per year. My scholarships/grants are just a little over $33,000 per year, so they would be paying the rest. Let me know if there are any credits/deductions that they can claim, thanks. P.S it's going to be my first year in college if that makes a difference.

Ok here is the thing. My parents are still alive. Mom does not like Wills, Living Wills or anything of the such. Dad just does what mom says, lol. They only had my brother and I. He passed away a couple of years ago. (you can see my profile for some of the story) But anyway, just before my brother passed away, mom and dad put one acre and one house in his and his wife's name. The other 2 acres and house they listed me as suivor of them and I get that.My brother had 2 kids and they are grown and gone. Well the boy took over their house and made his own mom move out. I have 2 kids my self, grown and gone as well. Last year my parents put my name on their banking account. My parents don't want to give them any thing else now, they want the rest of it to go to me. Here is the problem, mom will not have a will made out at all. She thinks that the attorneys are just after more money. Their attorney himself told me that if they leave things the way they are now that my brothers ............

I have heard SO many different theories on what the conditions are for paying Capital Gain taxes. Does anyone know the real answer? It was in Lehi, UT if that helps. Thank you!
