The question refers to an example if there were four employees that each had two assistants. Two of the employees usually have nothing to do because their assistants do all their work. The other two employees usually have to work over time, one of them have an assistant that works 15 hours and the other employee does not have an assistant. With that said, how does that affect impact, morale, and business? Also if you would be kind as to give a few ideas as how to fix this problem, that would be nice. I thank you.

I tried to get on a payment plan, but you have to have good credit and that I don't have plus I used a co-signer and they have know established credit, and she's the only person I know here that could have helped, now what do I do? I have not found a dentist that will work with me all they say is the money up front or you can't get nothing done, I have medicaid but that only helps people that is 21yrs old or younger, I also tryed the ameriplan and but the dentists fee's are still to high to get enough of a discount, I guess I'm out of luck, but the pain is terrible.

My sons mother does not work. Her only income is the $650 I give her (no support order were still married) He lives with her. I pay 100% of his cost of living. She lives with her mom and claims since her mom pays the rent lights and all the bills her mom should claim him or her, but if my son wereto live with me she would still have to pay her rent and utilities. The support I pay is for his and her food and clothes for them. just because he lives with her doesnt mean she supports him since she has no income

When a home seller receives a 1099 for forgiveness of debt in a short sale, is the income reported as miscellaneous income, or is the amount forgiven added to the tax basis, likely resulting in no taxable event? Or some other answer?

I am thinking of applying for a loan online. I have poor credit, but I have a cosigner with a credit score above 700. But, he lives 200 miles away. How will they go about getting all the documentation and everything with us that far apart. Are online loans paperless? How do they work?

I can't seem to find a website with the software for state and federal that doesn't charge an arm and a leg!! I am sure I can do it myself online, or should I pay a professional??

I just graduated college in 3 yrs. and while I was completing my two classes during the summer, my 1st job hired me on a temporary basis (which was rare to find since most firms were looking for full time at the time). After I was done with my classes, my job took me on board on a full time basis. It was for a small ad/marketing comp. and I loved it there, flexible hours, work environment was chill, co-workers were young (so it was easy to relate), and pay was ok. However, before I had even graduated I had applied to work for Social Security Administration.They called me on a Thursday to start on Tuesday and since I couldn't make up my mind I waited until Monday to tell the ad comp.I quit. I only have a wk with SSA and I already don't like it, the workers are older, won't get a raise until my 2 YR probationary period is over and it doesn't even relate to what I studied in college ( I was a business major). Is it too early to try to get my old job back? Or should I wait it out at SSA?

Although an obligation from the owner to the mortgage company is seperate from a rental agreement from the tenant to the owner. Doesn't give the homeowner the right to defraud the renter. IT IS MORALLY WRONG. I can't believe some of the posters saying it is none of my business what the homeowner does with the rent. What about the renters right to a secure place to live?
Rent is suppose to be used to pay the mortgage. Not paying the mortgage is tantamount to FRAUD. Leaving the renters to fend for themselves is irresponsible.
Property manangement companies need to set up an account where the rent is paid directly to the mortgage company. I know I'm not alone in this situation.
If you own property and in foreclosure. Be upfront with your tenants. Don't take money from them to save your own ***. Even if it's legal to do so.

Hi All and thanks for your help!

I am 23, currently a 1st year teacher in CT fresh out of college in my first job. I have a Master's and about $11,000 in student loans.

I am interested in buying a small home this summer. I'm hoping to buy somewhere under $200k.

I have great credit. Never made a late payment in my life. All utilities for a home have been in my name for over 2 years. No debt other than the student loans. I only have one credit card, however, and I use it rarely and for never more than about $100, which I pay in full at the end of every month.

Will I be able to get a decent mortgage for that amount? Being a first-time homebuyer? I will have a down payment of about $20,000 I believe. I can also, should it be necessary, have a member of my family with great credit history co-sign the loan.

What should I be doing? Advice? Is this feasible?

Thanks so much, I'd love to chat with someone who knows a lot about homebuying. Please feel free to email me!
