I was just wondering if oneshare.com is a good place to purchase stock? Or has anyone purchased stock here and the dividends paid out well with the corporation you bought it from?

We are going to sell our own house. I am not computer smart, but need to create a one page flyer showing the features of the house for sale. Can I find this on the web for free? Or is there a product I should buy at Staples?

I am interested in building a house. I either want a split plan or a 2 story with the kids upstairs. Which would cost me less to build if the square footage is about the same? The house will be in FL and will not have a basement.

I need to know how to report certain types of information returns for an LLC taxed as a Large Partnership (1065-B and 1065B K-1)

If I filed Regulation A with the SEC and became temporarily public, would each investor (does not actively participate) who receives a membership unit report their capital gains (distributions/earnings) on a 1065-B K-1 or a 1099-DIV

My girlfreind and I have been checking out some places to move to, 3 kids and all, so far Texas and upper part of New York have really good prices for houses, though, why in such nice places the cost of living is so cheaper than California? I live in Killerfornia and its the pits here, I dont know why anyone would like living here except for the fact that movie stars are here, the beaches, lots of sun and earthquakes not to mention damns all the way up Kalifronia. I wouldnt mind a place where there are trees and some out back, not a snowy place , not all mountains and woodlands. I was looking also into Tennesee, I have some family there. I love Arizona and have most family there but it just cost so much to live there but not too bad as Kalifornia.

I had perfect credit about one year ago. Then I had a roommate that basically stole all of my money and left me with a negative bank account. Because of this I was unable to pay my bills b/c my pay was directly deposited until i could stop it. I went to the police and filed a bad check claim (which covers only some of what she stole) and I just graduated college, and things are hard b/c i had terrible credit b/c everything snowballed so quick.
My question is...what, if anything, can i do to repair my terrible credit? My history was short so it went from exellent to bad extremely quickly...any advice would be so helpful, I don't know what to do right now.

Month-long event, or non-event as the case may be. Instead, shop at your local small business grocer, buy gifts from someone in your neighbourhood that makes crafts or a senior's home, or buy nothing at all! Who is with me?

Our homeowner's association is proposing to restrict owners from renting out their house. Most of our community's residents are outraged. An association should only be concerned with the exterior appearance, maintenance and
noise levels and not have any say on what goes on INSIDE
the house. Of late, homeowner associations have been slowly trying to take away freedoms, ie: banning the American Flag after 911 in one Southern Florida community... So long as the exterior of the house is
kept up according to covenants, no one should be concerned
who lives inside. If they pierce our walls, is the next step telling us that we must not watch TV past 11 pm? -or worse?
Any input or information on this issue would be very much
appreciated! If you know of any laws in your state or personal experiences, please let me know. Thank you!

We are in the process of buying a forclosure (incredible price for a great neighborhood) but the listing agent for the bank has been rude and uninformative, and we currently don't know if the house is really "ours".
We had an engineer into the place and signed our part of the contract last Monday, but have yet to hear anything back from the bank. They have not sent back their signed parts or set a closing date.
We're a bit worried. Our current home has a buyer and we have a closing date--but we signed thinking that the forclosure would be our new home.
The other day while at the house, another listing agent was showing the place and I overheard him tell his clients, "There's an accepted offer but you can easily outbid them." He was obnoxious, and my heart sank.
Could they give the house to another buyer, even if we already signed the contract? If this happens, could we make them pay us back for getting an engineer report or pay our rent? We'll be left homeless!

I rent an apartment and in the summer both the people next door and the one upstairs smoke outside. Thesmoke fills my apartment and it stinks and I am tired of smelling it. I get headaches. I have complained but the managers said nothing can be done! why do I have to be exposed to second hand smoke where I live? I pay rent here shouldn't I be able to live free of toxins? without having to close up all my windows in the middle of summer?

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked in Yahoo Answers about improving our income tax program; quote –

How can we change the tax code to ease the burden on our families and promote growth and innovation?

There were a number of good answers but I never had a chance to respond. How does this sound to you?

I think it is time for a flat tax. Using the last five years as a base, determine what the real tax amount was for each taxable category. We do not pay the actual tax base but reduce taxes using various exemptions and write offs. Unfortunately we do not all get the same benefits, have the same ability to pay high paid tax lawyers to reduce our taxes, or have benefit of all the tax loop holes. After identifying the “Average Tax” actually paid the IRS should establish that as the amount of taxes we pay. There would be no exemptions for personal taxes except for medical insurance and catastrophic medical costs. A person could gain the catastrophic medical exemption for themselves or a member of their family or through a certification that they paid for the catastrophic medical needs of another person.
This would probably not cut too deeply into the tax income required by the government to fund necessary programs. It would make tax payers more honest and reduce the burden of doing taxes and letting select people get away without paying any tax.
I also think people should be taxed based on their accepted category. A person earning more than $500,000.00 per year should have to separately claim any money gained through bonuses, performance awards or whatever and be taxed at a separate rate of no less than 60% of the additional. Those people who are then paid millions of dollars a year would pay personal taxes like anyone else but would have to pay a separate tax on excessive income not actually considered as wages; some have recorded earning of more than a million dollars a day, many over a million a month. This usually occurs in corporations where many people are working at minimum or near minimum wages.
I would also suggest a national sales tax of no more than 2% on everything but food, medical, gasoline and heating fuel. This is a fair tax, you pay on what you buy; for those who pay $12,000.00 for a car they pay far less tax than the person who can afford and does buy a $65,000.00 car, and neither has a loop hole to escape the tax.

I went to the same Wal MArt I have used for years. For the first time the cashier demanded to see my drivers licence with my credit card...I said NO, my social is still on the licence, she was beligerant, so I went to the head cashier. SHe also said I needed a drivers licence with a credit card. I made the store manager come over and HE told me all they needed was a second look at my signature! BUT is thal legal in Massachusetts, and it was humiliating, as though I were a thief.
I never have had to do that in the past, and I still don't have to do that in any New Hampshire Wal MArt...SO, fact and oppinions friends??????????????????

I just finished paying down my credit card balances to zero. I want to lower the credit limits down from about 30k each to around 2 or 3 thousand. Will doing this hurt my credit rating? I understand that closing any accounts can lower a persons credit rating. I have no plans to cancel any credit cards, just lower their limits.

I want to take my home off the market and possibly rent as it has not sold in the 5+ months that it has been listed. Is there a provision that would not allow me to sell on my own for a period of time if I had renters who decide to buy?
