    High MPG Cars

    My first car was a 89 chevy sprint. Same 1.0L 3cyl as the metro, the only problem was the power. it had something like 50-60hp and a 0-60 time of about a week. It takes fuel to make power. When I started reading your post, I immediately thought of the jetta diesel! Only problem with...

    Is 20% Equity TOO Much!?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Im not a CPA, so check with your tax person on this. From my understanding, you can only deduct the interest. I highly doubt the IRS will let you take a double write off on the interest. On a side note, you might be able to claim the loss each month as a added deduction, but again don't...

    Is 20% Equity TOO Much!?

    REAL ESTATE 
    You can write off the interest that you are paying. Since you just bought the property, the first few years you will be paying mostly interest, so the write off is larger. Obviously as time goes by, and the less interest you pay, the lower this tax deduction is going to be, but by that time...

    Is 20% Equity TOO Much!?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Back to the tax write off thing... if you are loosing $165/Mo, thats $1980 a year. You could probably get all of that back and then some just by the tax deduction. So it might not be a loss at all. I guess thats my way to see the glass half full..lol

    Is 20% Equity TOO Much!?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Wouldn't another cost be the price of PMI since he would be dropping below the 20% equity mark? Let me add a question here too... lets say a HELOC rate is at 10%, but he can only make 8-9% a ROI on that. Would it make sense to say that since you can use the tax write off on the HELOC, that...

    My Summer Business...Okay, Summer JOB

    From what i've seen of the roomba and scooba, all they do is drive (for lack of a better term) around and bounce off of walls in random lines (like a ball on a screen saver). It would probably take 5x as long to wait for one of those devices to clean a office as it would if you just bought a...

    Just switch your Costco account to a business account (no extra money) and whenever you make a purchase for your business, let the cashier know that its a resale order and they will not charge you tax.

    I've just noticed more storage units in seedy neighborhoods than in affluent ones. Maybe that graffiti makes them stand out more?
