Suze Orman says no, since I'm not getting a company match. Still, I like the idea of socking away money and reducing my taxable income. I also maxxed out a roth ira. So should I save 10-20% in the 401k or completely discontinue it and use the extra income in a 5% savings account for the downpayment? I have about 30 some years until retirement.

If we can't pay rent by Monday, we're getting evicted and our land lords mentioned something about having our wages garnished, which if I could afford to have my wages garnished then I'd be paying rent...So, I just was wondering if someone out there knew the procedure???

My partner and I split up 4 months ago due to him cheating on me, after 6 years together, 4 engaged & 3 living together. We purchased the house that we had been living in for two years last year and due to credit difficulties on my part, the mortgate and all the bills were in my partners name. As he was paid monthly and me weekly it was agreed that he would pay the bills and I would pay for living (food, cigarettes for him, clothes for both of us). We split up on amicable terms, despite the reason behind it and I stayed in the house for a few weeks afterwards. Due to him making me feel increasingly uncomfortable by bringing his new girlfriend round and staying out lots, I moved back in with my parents. He now tells me that he has sold the house for 30% more than what we bought it for and he is putting down a deposit for a new house with his new girlfriend. Am I entitled to any profits from the house even though my name wasn't on any bills, due to the length of time I was living there?

we signed friday on a house on 5 acres of land. we went through another realtor because the one selling never called us back. Well when we signed on friday there were no other offers. my realtor called him friday after we made the offer and on sat. no responce. he called him again on monday - nothing. tuesay he finally got ahold of him and said that there were 2 other offers and he was taking another one, not ours. the reason he did get back with him is because he dosen't work on weekends and monday was a holiday. now the only thing left for us to do is to offer the asking price. if we do that can they offer the same and get the house or can they offer more than the asking price?? I really feel like the realtor selling the house is screwing us and not giving us a fair chance to get the house. We have already been approved for the morgage, so that is not the issue. please help me?????

Seems like you can withdraw 1/2 tax free and pay back to yourself. Or are you better off putting your after tax money into a savings account?

" You pay your account back the balance you borrowed, plus any interest (a fixed rate determined at the time of the loan), through after-tax payroll deductions
Loans must be fully repaid through payroll deductions within 60 months unless the loan is used for the purchase of a primary residence (Home Loan). Loans used for the purchase of a primary residence must be repaid within 30 years (360 months).

I'm hoping to rent a property until the market snaps back. Is receiving Landlords insurance difficult to obtain? Also should I expect my already high insurance premium to rise drastically?

I see commercial properties for sale in the newspaper. Often times it will make a reference to "Cap" such as 8x or 7x cap. Could someone tell me what that means?

I live in a PUD (similar to a Condo, but we actually own the land we're built on). It has always been my belief the Board members were required to have E&O Insurance (errors &omissions). We had an HOA meeting tonight where it was brought to light that several very bad decisions had been made by the board, that the board actually took responisibilty for! The board said they couldn't be fixed as we have run out of money (mostly due to their gross negligence) I voiced my opinion that their E&O's should cover the cost. They maintain they don't have that. I know the must have something, otherwise how are WE protected? Um.. HELP?

Saving for a downpayment on a house. Should I hold off on 401k contributions until I buy it, or still keep contributing (I'd be able to do both)? I don't get a match in the 401k. Also, someone told me to save in the 401k because I can take out a loan for a home purchase.

I am interested in buying a house in australia (i'm in australia). it has been on the the market for a few weeks. I have booked in a building/pest inspection (usually what you do after you sign a contract with a building/pest clause)

A friend suggested that getting an inspection before making a bid will cause the seller to elevate his asking price because he knows i've spent the money on an inspection before bidding..

My thoughts originally were that if i get the inspection first i can negotiate with it.... but perhaps my friend is right, i could theoretically negotiate with a pest/building after making a bid

I have the option of staging my home (bringing furniture into my home solely for the purpose of making it look like a dream home) OR leaving it completely vacant as I will be moved out of my home when it's on the market.

I would like to hear your responses as if you were house-hunting. Would you rather go into a home that is staged (with someone else's design taste) or would you rather see a future home empty and using your own imagination as to where your things will go?
