My gf and I are apt hunting, using a broker.
We found a perfect apt and applied.
We paid the $500 initial fee.
We have perfect credit, good jobs, about 4 yrs of rent in our bank accounts.
We are maybe 4K short of the yearly income requirement, but my gf's mom has a $1M house in New Jersey
We applied on Mon. The broker told us we would know on Wed, Thu at the latest. It is now Fri.
We have been in contact with the broker several times since we applied.
We have heard: "Pretty sure you have it"
"looks good", "Just waiting for final word",
Everything except "Come down and sign the lease".
It has now been five days, and the same old rhetoric.
From what I understand:
In NYC, there might be six or more brokers trying to get the same apt rented.
Until a lease is signed, the apt. remains for rent.
Every day we wait, our chances of getting it diminish.
What is the hold up? Do we have it or not?
NYC apt hunting is unique, so please only answer if are familiar with the procedure in NYC.

I am speaking of the work place. As an accountant, do you have a lot of deadlines. Is the work very independent. Is there a lot of office politics involved. Longest answer will get the best answer points. Do accountants enjoy a fairly secure employment status. How is it like to work for the BIG 4 firms? ANY Comments relating to being an accountant would help! Thank you for your comments

Since the federal reserve bank is in control of americas money supply and since it charges interest on every dollar given to america, how can america ever get out of debt?

Is this is an opportunity or not? The facts are these:

My avg. FICA is 715, make about 85K p/year, have @ same job for 12 years (teaching) and have about 30K in investments ready to put as down payment and about 20K in cash.

The property is a Duplex in L.A. area (South Bay), I already put $3,000 as guarantee, The terms are to put 5% down; The loan is option is a 85/15. Tthe interest on the loan is 7% fixed on the big loan (85% Interest only for first 5 years), and 10.75% on the small loan (15% jumbo loan).

I just heard today more statistics on what has been suspected: more people defaulting on mortgage payments and a worldwide stock maket scare due to this. Countrywide. WaMu, and other lending institutions are in trouble. I know it'll be hard to get better loan terms right now but I don't want to let the opportunity go.

Is it better to wait few mos. untiI the storm's gone or do I gamble with what I have on hand? (1st time home buyer)

Thanks for your advice. =0)

Given the following assumptions: first time buyer, able to make 20% down payment, excellent credit, flexible on timing, already pre-approved, silicon valley area, intends to live in 2 bedroom condo for at least 5 years. How should the crisis affect decisions, particularly concerning timing? Should I wait a few months, or get it over with? Will housing prices drop somewhat? Will I get hit with a higher interest rate for waiting?

As I write this, the office big mouth - backstabber - shirker - blamer is packing her boxes and cleaning out her file cabinets. I had nothing to do with her ultimate demise -- management finally wised up and realized that she was a criminal waste of space.

The taste of justice is so sweet in my mouth that I can't help but to keep imbibing.

Any suggestions on how I can assuage my guilt at taking so much pleasure at her demise?

I have a friend in Eastland Texas who got her license recently and in 2 days sold 2 houses! She's 19!!! I live in Fort Hood/Killeen. I was wondering if anyone knew the market here, or how I could find out about it. Because I hear some places there are like 1 agent to every 5 people, and that you can't make any money. Before I shell out the dough for classes I want to see if its worth it. In addition she did her classes online. And a real estate company still took her on as an agent. So is it true that if you get your credentials from online they're less impressive?? Thanks ALL!

Evidently my wife didn't tell a city she was moving in that she moved 14 years ago. They say she owed city vehicle taxes. Now, the city hired a collection agency to try to get the debt and interest on it. We heard nothing about this for the past 14 years. Had no idea there was outstanding debt because nobody contacted us. Upon hearing about this, we paid the principal, but we are questioning the finance charges. The finance charges are three times what the principal was. Had they contacted us 12, 10, 8, even 5 years ago, the finance charges wouldn't have been as much. Would it be worthwhile to take this to a lawyer or should I just pay it. Don't want it to negatively impact our credit rating, but it seems like they waited too long to contact us and let the finance charges inflate. Total about is under $700. Could a lawyer help or would it even be worth it?

So everytime a stock is sold at a profit you have to pay 15% tax on what you made? What if you're reinvesting that money in something else?

Are there any loopholes to paying taxes on capital gains?
