Business & Finance - 10 December 2007

The good news is that rates early this week hit the lowest point since mid 2005 with 30 year fixed rates to be had for under 6 Percent. This is huge, as over the last 50 years there are very few times that rates have dropped to this level. I can still remember fixed rates in the 80's of over 15 Percent. What do you think that would do to your housing expense and disposable income?
The employment numbers which were released this morning were much more positive than anticipated. This has put pressure on mortgage backed securities causing their yield to rise. This movement has increased rates a little, but still leaving us with historically low home mortgage interest rates. The 10-year bond is currently up 20 basis points from Monday of this week, trading at 4.08 Percent -up from 3.88 Percent. Our feeling is that despite the market gyrations we will enjoy these favorable rates over the near term, making this a great time to purchase or refinance.

My ex was just recently served with child support and I have not received a payment yet. I have been raising our 3 year old daughter soley on my own and he has no contact with her whatsoever. He states that since he is paying child support now, mind you I have not received a payment yet, he is going to claim my daughter on his taxes. Can he do this? I live in Iowa if that makes a difference.

I'm getting ready to write a letter to the Boaed of Nursing Examiners. I was wondering if there is anyone who has written them? I have looked over what they want included in the letter but was wondering how I should write the letter. Should it be a long to the heart letter or should I leave it short and stick to the facts. I've already talked to a few people who have written the BNE and wanted to get a few more opinions from people who have gone through this process. Thank you in advance for your help.

I took an early withdrawl from my 401K to cover a house purchase and college this year but now don't think I had enough withheld to cover the taxes and early withdrawa penalty. I would like to make sure enough is withheld so I dont get hit with more interstest and penalties. How do I pay my estimated amount I think i owe the IRS. Do I use the quaterly payment estimate of taxes and send that to the IRS. When is it due. Is January 15 the cutoff date to get payments in during 2007?

I mean, how much you have to pay tax for it and how much of it you can deduct for tax (like condo fee, property tax,...)
And what happens when you sell the condo after? You have to pay extra tax again since you made money out of it?
