Business & Finance - 25 October 2007

I don't quite understand these terms on my contract, can someone please explain it in an easy way:

Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable state law, and management mutually agrees, the Resident may terminate this agreement before the expiration of the original term by:

Paying a lease termination fee of $REMAINDER OF LEASE TERM, such amount being paid by resident as additional consideration to management return for the relinquishment and release by management of any claim it might have against resident for the balance of the rent due under the lease. THis fee is also due to landlord/management should a tenant "skip". or not give a formal 30 day notice.


What does this mean?? I would like to terminate my contract in January, while my actual contract actually is still until the July of next year. Does this mean that I still have to pay the rent from February to July even though I am not living there anymore??

Will the banks AND the broker both bring up a credit report? If you were dealing with several banks offers over a period of 3 months, wouldn't that be extra inquiries on your report that could hurt you score?

I recently accepted a job that starts in 4 days. The job has a 90-day probation period and is "at will". Recently I was told that I will have to ocassionally go to their other office (which is a 1 hour drive both ways). I was originally told that I would only work in their main office (which is a short bus ride away from my house). I mainly accepted the position because of the proximity and access to public transportation.

I can have at least 3 offers in my hand by the end of the month if I decide to renege on the job I accepted. One of the jobs can be a long term job that is an excellent career path. So I'm not concerned about being unemployed.

How can I quit the job I accepted? I think they misrepresented the position.

If the realtor knows that the property has a history of being haunted or of being suspected to be haunted, then do they have to tell if you ask?

Hi.. what do yall think?? Here's my situation (I'll explain as breifly as possible)

I live on a small stipend and scrape by paycheck-paycheck.. I currently have only about $15 in my account but today is payday. Got my paycheck.. Here's the problem

#1 they never distribute the checks until after 2.00 which is the deadline for deposits to be made to count for that day.

#2. I am leaving on a trip with a choir early tomorrow morning (before banks open).

#3. I HAVE to purchase some things tonight before I go.

One time I deposited my check via the atm (AT THE BANK) in the evening.. THEN AFTERWARD I went and bought some things at the grocery store using my bank card. Well.. I knew my paycheck wouldn't "Hit" right away, but I figured neither would the purchase! But, even though the purchase was made AFTER the deposit, it hit first, the bank hit me with a overdraft charge and REFUSED to take it off, even after I explained the situation

see additional details for my question

I didn't think we would have to put any money down at all and any down payment is between me and my mortgage broker. The thing is, he's putting a ton of pressure on us. He claims if we don't, we could lose out on the house, but I'm not really afraid of that because everyone in the area we're looking is very desperate to sell. So if these people say no, there's other properties to make offers to. What should we do? We could get the 10K together, I just don't want it tied up like that.

I was looking to try to find information on a foreclosed home going up for auction, speciafically in Walton county. I've contacted the mortgage company who told me what attorney to call, I did but the lady I talked to acted like I was just getting on her nerves. The mortgage co. told me if it does not sell at auction I could then make a bid on it. The attorney's office told me it will sell either to a 3rd party or back to the mortgage co, so I said then I could contact the mortgage company again? Her response was no. After telling me it will sell regardless at auction, to call her company back the day after auction to see if it sold. Seriously I can't be the only one to ever ask these questions, but everyone I talk to does not seem to have a clue?

Hello,
I wanted to ask whether you think this options straddle method would work:
When the market opens, buy equal numbers of calls and puts of the same stock. Set an equal stop loss amount for each. As the stock price changes, one option should stop out; watch the other and sell it when it becomes profitable.
Does this sound feasible, or is there a reason it would not work?

I imagine it would be best to pick a stock whose price moves fairly quickly. Is it best to use the same strike price for the call and put?

A related question: Do the prices of the call/put normally move proportionally (but in opposite directions) as the stock price goes up/down? I have noticed that sometimes they do and sometimes they don't (e.g. sometimes both the call and put decrease or increase on the same day).

Thanks,
Jeffrey

I have quite a bit of equity in my house, but I need to move. Since the market is softer than an ice cream bar on a Phoenix sidewalk in August, our realtor suggested I put the place up for rent for a year and try again when things recover. Meanwhile, I kinda need the 100K+ I have in the house, so I was thinking of taking my lender up on those weekly offers I get about cashing out equity (second mortgage). Now, at the time I signed the first set of papers, it was owner-occupied. While signing for the second, it'll also be owner-occupied -- although that is bound to change shortly after. Will this come back and bite me in any way? It seems like it'll be no big deal as long as I make the payments, but what if I get in accident, lose my job etc. and end up foreclosing in say 9 months? Just trying to run worst-case scenarios ahead of time, so any input is appreciated. I'm in WA by the way.

I left my employer 4 months ago, but my sister in-law (with the same surname and initials) is still employed. By mistake they have paid her salary into my account.

My last employer treated me badly so I have no quarms about keeping this.

I have informed my sister-in-law and she is indeed missing the salary and very embarrassed that I now know what she is paid. Does she have any rights against the employer as well as they have effectively broken her confidence by revealing her salary.

How will the company reclaim the money from me? Can they simply reverse the payment to my account? Do I have the right to refuse to pay them back?

Sorry for the long question and thanks for your help.

We have made on offer on a home that is in the process of foreclosure. The Selling agent ordered a HUD1 statement and supposedly submitted to the lenders. The property has a 1st and 2nd. How long should we reasonabley expect until the bank gets back to us/them. How do we know the selling agent really submitted the offer to the banks. It has already been 7 business days (not including sat & sun) offer is 17% below perceived market value.
