Open Question: Who do i sue regarding land sales? (Victorian laws)?

I sold my land. Subject to finance by the 19th Feb 2010, settlement to take place 6th March 2010. 4 days before settlement(02/03/10), my conveyancer calls me to tell me that she just received a fax dated 25th Feb stating that the purchasers application for finance has been declined!!! Up until the 19th Feb, we heard nothing from anyone so everyone assumed all was going to plan. Starting 21st Feb, we started to make big expenses as after the settlement, we would be able to pay off these expenses. Upon receiving the decline fax, my conveyancer calls agent to ask if he has the deposit of $20500. He says he only has the $500 and has been trying to get them to pay the rest but to no avail!!! Who's at fault? Who can i sue for my deposit and the extra expenses i had incurred due to the delay in settlement? Does the conveyancer have to chase up the deposit? Does the agent have to chase up the deposit? more

Open Question: SOS!!!!! Help solve a problem!?

Matthew Ryan, CFO of Bags & Purses, Inc., opened the company confidential envelope on his desk. It contained a draft of a competitive bid for a contract to supply duffel canvas to the U.S. Navy. The cover memo from Bags’ CEO asked Mr. Ryan to complete the bid before it was submitted. The bid and its supporting documents had been prepared by Bags’ sales staff. It called for Bags to supply 100,000 yards of duffel canvas per year for 5 years. The proposed selling price was fixed at $30 per yard. Mr. Ryan was not usually involved in sales, but this bid was unusual in at least two respects. First, if accepted by the Navy, it would commit Bags to a fixed-price, long-term contract. Second, producing the duffel canvas would require an investment of $1.5 million to purchase machinery and to refurbish Bags’ plant in Pleasantville, North Carolina. Mr. Ryan set to work and by the end of the week had collected the following facts and assumptions:  The plant in Pleasantville had been built in the early 1900s and is now idle. The plant was fully depreciated on Bags’ books, except for the purchase cost of the land (in 1947) of $10,000.  Now the land was valuable shorefront property. Mr. Ryan thought the land and the idle plant could be sold, immediately or in the near future, for $600,000. Assume the land can be sold for $600,000 at the end of the Navy contract.  Refurbishing the plant would cost $500,000. This investment would be depreciated for tax purposes on the 10 year MACRS schedule.  The new machinery would cost $1 million. This investment could be depreciated on the 5-year MACRS schedule.  The refurbished plant and new machinery would last for many years. However, the remaining market for duffel canvas was small, and it was not clear that additional orders could be obtained once the Navy contract was finished. The machinery was custom-built and could be used only for duffel canvas. Its second-hand value at the end of 5 years was probably zero.  Mr. Ryan thought that working capital would average about 10 percent of sales. Cost of goods sold includes fixed cost of $300,000 per year plus variable costs of $18 per yard. Another confidential envelope arrived from Bags’ CEO. It contained a firm offer from a North Carolina real estate developer to purchase Bags’ Pleasantville land and plant for $1.5 million in cash. Requirements Should Mr. Ryan recommend submitting the bid to the Navy at the proposed price of $30 per yard? Or should the land be sold now? What if the land price increases by the inflation rate of 4% per year and is sold at the end of the project? Would this change your answer? The discount rate for this project is 12%. The income tax rate is 35%. Justify all your numbers. more

Resolved Question: Is this going to be an investment or a money pit?

I could really use some input from the more experienced horse people. My husband and I are looking to move. I have a horse, we're looking for a place with a barn. I work full time. So this place is up for sale on 38 acres, a 30 stall barn, indoor, several paddocks and about 40 horses. The fences need to be fixed, I wonder how much of a train wreck some of the horses are (health wise, etc) and there are some issues with the barn. So here are some things wrong with the place: 1. Fences need to be repaired/replaced 2. Horses infested with worms - I know how to treat the horses, how can I treat the land that they've been pooping on for years? 3. Horses in the barn have had strangles. Is there a way to eliminate the strangles without burning the barn down? 4. The place has a BAAAAD reputation. Is "under new management" sufficient to really make a go at things and find new boarders? 5. I can teach beginners, reteach adults the basics but I lack the knowledge to teach more advanced people. Would hiring on a trainer to work there help the situation?The reason why this particular business is in the toilet is because the owner is a hoarder and buys more horses than she can give shelter or food to. So she cut corners on silly things like food and water. more

Open Question: Is it okay if as a Christian I ignore parts of the Bible I that I don't agree with?

"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need." --Acts 4::32-35 NIV People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. (NIV, 1 Timothy 6:9-11) No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (NIV, Matthew 6:24-25, 31-33) Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24Mathew 7 15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' more

Open Question: Any Shooting Range Owners From Florida?

In the part of Florida that I live, there is only one range with four stalls. It is expensive as well as run down. People go there only because they have no other place to go within a 50 mile radius. I decided I want to open a range myself and have already obtained so much data that my head is spinning, yet I still have some questions I am having trouble getting answered. I have the Florida State Statutes, County Codes and Zoning, The NRA Range Sourcebook (in the mail), USAF ETL 08-11: Small Arms Range Design and Construction, the EPA CFRs for lead, and have a couple of properties I am looking at in my area that meet code and would be large enough to suffice the range. The range will be an outdoor range that has 50m (X5), 100 m (X5), 300 m(X3), and 1000 m (X2) lanes that will have use a dirt backstop accompanied by a cement block wall. The range will allow for ammunition from .22 cal to .50 cal. Other than delivery of dirt my brother, cousin, dad, and friend will assist me in the construction of the stalls, measuring the Surface Danger Zone/Vertical Danger Zone, backstops, and targets. My cousin and myself are going to Orlando to become Range Safety Officers for insurance purposes. As business takes off I will be adding a skeet shoot and a tactical/obstacle course with pop-up targets and CQB scenarios, but those are not in the making yet (not until I have an established business). The building where business will be conducted will need to have retail space for accessories, gear, ammo, and guns for sale/rent (I have an application for an FFL but until I have a location of business I cannot send it in). I will also need a 125ft X 125ft room for conducting NRA, CCW, and security courses as well as offer free hunting courses (All but the hunting courses will be taught by either myself or my cousin). A bathroom and breakroom are requirements for a security training facility in my state. I know what is needed by the county, state, EPA, and BATFE in regards to licensing and regulations for the range and firearms, what I am not sure of is the business aspect. I was hoping someone who owns a range in Florida could help answer the few questions that I have left. Q1: I know the average mark-up for firearms and accessories in the area, but how can I find the cost of the firearms and accessories (wholesale/dealers price) or of any price breaks for bulk orders? The distributors will not talk to me until I have my FFL and I cannot get my FFL without a place for business and I cannot get a place of business without a business loan from a bank. Due to the economy and my age, 24, I am going to have to go to the bank with a DETAILED business plan and explain how they will get there money back. Q2: How do you pay a business loan back? Do you pay monthly payments (i.e. mortgage/car payment) or do you pay in back in a lump some with in so many years? If so what is the time frame it is to be paid back in? Q3: Do you know of any good insurance companies to cover my business (in Florida) and if so how much does it cost? Again they will not talk to me until I have a business. Q4: How much do lead removal services cost? The EPA mandates that a company has to come and remove lead from my dirt back stops and I'm sure it is not free. If I have the equipment am I allowed to do it myself? Q5: If you own an outdoor range in Fl, do you mind telling me an estimated cost of construction supplies for your outdoor range? Q6: I am looking a buying a large piece of land and I'm probably not going to find one with a building on it that suits my needs. Any ideas/suggestions on new construction vs. other options I am unaware of such as portable buildings (if they have them) Q7: What are the state and federal taxes (estimate of course) for running such a business in FL? Please, refrain from JUST telling me that this is an expensive business and that it will fail. I now that it will be expensive and that is why I need a DETAILED business plan for the bank. I am hoping for help with the few financial questions left to determine the over all cost and revenue I will need to acquire. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate and look forward to any responses. more

Resolved Question: Is bad to send a second follow up letter (Job interview)?

I landed an interview for a new position at the same company where I'm currently at. The interview was back on Feb 23 (Tuesday). They told me that they should reach the final decision by the end of the week. I sent a thank you email to the HR and the department manager the very next day (24th). I called the HR on March 1 and she said that the manager is out and have not given her the final decision yet. I sent a follow up email today (march 5) to the manager and the HR confirming that i'm still interested in the position. Was that a bad move? Was that too much? Side notes: It's a Sales Support position. Our company is very email oriented so I decided to send email via email instead of physical letter or a card. It is the company policy to notify the internal candidates of the result. Since I didn't hear anything from the HR, I figured they still haven't make a final decision. more

Resolved Question: "What are some inexpensive.. nice place to rent a home in Oregon?">>>?

I am thinking about relocating.. I want to be in the suburbs or just outside of.. rural..but not too much. Safety is a huge concern. Where I live in Wisconsin the crime is very very low. The roads are not at all whatsoever congested. Which is why there are hardly any car accidents. I like that and will miss both. However.. I fell in love with the beauty of Oregon. Wisconsin has beauty also.. I would actually consider staying.. if there were more jobs and less brutal winters. There is a lot of land here.. but the tornado threats scare me. I want to buy land one day to build a home.. and with the tornados its hard to imagine here. Winters don't allow you to go anywhere.. and you call out of work a lot. I am an Esthetician.. who works at a day spa. This is my career.. Will I be able to find work prior to coming there somehow? Or once there? I have a liscense. It would be a shame if I can't .. but.. don't want to find this out once there. I am paying for rent 650.00 a month for an apartment... only and I pay all utilities which brings that way.. way .. up. So.. Oregon seems to be more affordable.. with more beauty.. Here its all farm. No mountains.. A Lot of lakes.. but.. I miss the oceans .. light houses etc. How is the economy.. unemployment? Is there a whole sale grocery store. We have Woodmans here and everything is a few dollars less then at a regular priced one. The bakeries and pizza here are horrible. The snow never melts and the single digits.. are freeezing and you can't get around much. Crime is low.. low low.. and I have to drive a far ways to get places and do things.. I do live in a small small town.. that has many shops .. but other then that. I can't save here.. from driving far.. hibrinating all winter.. and going stretches when a job is hard to find. Please Help. Thanks more

Voting Question: Land Lease Manufactured Home: "Strategic Foreclosure"?

2010 - Housing Market is crap. We are about $80K underwater. Don't qualify for Short Sale. Want to buy *up* due to recent family inheiritance - but can't until we sell... but can't sell... and so the drama of many home owners. If we choose to do "Strategic Foreclosure" and walk away, we no longer have to pay the mortgage, but I think we are locked in the monthly Land Lease ($625/mo.). Is there another way around the Land Lease? Maybe Bankruptcy? And, if so -- would we even qualify since we have the inheiritance money? Lived in the manufactured 3BD, 2BA home w/ attached, site-built garage and backyard for 10 years... but from what others have told me - we will never see the value go back up to break even. What would you do? more

Resolved Question: How would Jesus heal our health insurance system?

Wouldn't he demand everyone be covered, all in the same pool, spreading the risks from each according to his health to each according to his sickness? The New Testament Book of Acts; Chapter 4:32-35 (NIV) {All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.} more

Resolved Question: Question about land lease..?

I found a home for sale- It's tiny-- about 1000 sq/ft -- but it is in a great location-- It is going for 349,000 but in the ad it says "You Lease the land at $2100 per month, this means that you own the home itself but you lease the land." So does that mean that you have to pay whatever your mortgage is for the 349,000 plus $2100 per month for the land?!? I'm just wondering because- as I said- the house is tiny-- and not that spectacular (definitely NOT worth anywhere NEAR 349,000-- I'm living in a condo now that is worth $185,000 and it is about the same size and much nicer) but as I said-- the location is just- amazing! and it seems like if you have to pay $2100 EXTRA a month for the land-- then you are already paying for the location with that.. more

Resolved Question: Should I apply as a bank teller (looking to get into bank sales)?

I've been working as an independent insurance agent for the last year and a half and currently exploring other jobs in sales. I had a fantastic interview for a bank sales position, but was beat out! If I were to land a job at a bank, I'd like it to lead to a sponsorship for a securities license in the future.

Resolved Question: What do I do about autodialers calling my new number for its old owner?

I got a new land line from AT&T about four months ago, and I constantly get calls for Dan and Cindy Whatever. The worst thing is it's all autodialers. Relentless computers from collection agencies, credit cards, time shares, "special offers." There seems to be no way to stop them. I did the common sense thing for about 2 months and said, "I'm sorry. This is a new number. You can't reach that person here anymore." A lot of times the guy on the other end would pursue this sale in spite of the fact that he was calling entirely the wrong person. Regardless, they just keep calling. I stopped being polite about a month ago, but still told people it was the wrong number. I got on the government "do not call" list, but I can't see that it has done anything. I mostly just hang up or don't answer now. I have had to unplug my phone line and go back to using my cell. I don't see what I can do since they don't respond to me telling them they have the wrong number. The government "do not call" list doesn't stop them from calling Cindy and Dan because it only stops unsolicited calls. Clearly Cindy and Dan did solicit these calls. They just dumped the phone number on the next unfortunate bastard, me. I don't want to talk to every person who calls me and threaten each and every one of them with legal pursuit if they don't honor the do not call list. It's just too much. I am not going to pay an additional $10/month to get call ID and call block. This was supposed to be a cheap way to phase out my cell phone. The only thing I can thing to do is call BellSouth and ask to have my number changed or just quit the service. I don't want to quit though because there is a hefty hefty activation fee for a land line now that would be wasted. Is there anything I can do about this? Has this happened to anyone before? more

Resolved Question: Any shooting range owners from Florida?

Resolved Question: Should we pay the rent when offered an extension after closing date on our house?

We are closing on our house soon but needed an extension on our move out date because the closing date on the house we are moving into was delayed do to poor planning on that seller and, we feel, our Realtor. The house we are buying had been for sale for several months but still did not have a legal deed or survey of the land. We signed papers with a closing date upon approval of the rear property lines and all was going fine till the county didn't approve the survey. In the mean time the people buying our house want us to pay their rent. I agree someone should pay but I don't feel it should be us since I feel our Realtor didn't protect us in this manner. We used the same Realtor to purchase the new house and sell our house. Now I realize that is a mistake, too little too late. I feel he is protecting the owners of the new house and expecting us to take the back seat. Are WE responsible for paying that months rent or should our Realtor? Yes, it is giving us the extra time to live in this house but had we closed when we should have on the new house this wouldn't even be an issue. more

Voting Question: My girlfriend and her cousins inherited a house, will this affect their AGI?

My girlfriend alone with 7 cousins inherited a house and land from their grandparents who passed away in 1997, but it is unknown the fair retail value of the house was at this time, and the mother of my girlfriend rented the house out to tenets after their death and the house became destroyed by the tenets. Upon the deaths the house was put into a trust until the youngest of the cousins turned 18, at which point it was up to the cousins to decide what to do with the house. The youngest of the cousins turned 18 in Dec, 2008 and the house and land were sold for $60,000.00 in July 2009 having been appraised before the sale at $65,000.00. This money was then divided up between the 8 cousins after legal and selling fees were deducted. My question is, (1) I believe the 1099S sent to the cousins after the sale for tax year 2009 reflected the current sales price and not the fair market value at the time of death so was this done incorrectly. (2) what portion of this sale affects your adjusted gross income, just any gain or loss from what the original fair market value of the house was at the time of death or will the whole portion of her share (approximately $6,500.00) be considered income and reflect so on her adjusted gross income and will this raise or lower her AGI. (3) Would it be illegal for tax purposes for her mother to have rented this house out while it was in a trust and it is unknown if this income was reported since she herself has since passed away but would this have any outcome on the correct amount that would be reflected on my girlfriends AGI this tax year if it was not reported. (4) What would happen if the lawyer just took the $60,000.00 divided the profits by 8 and issued 1099S’s as such? Thank you for your help in the matter. 4 hours ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details Ok, but lets say the house value at the time of the death was 60,000, and the sale of the house in 2009 was 60,000. Should the tax forms given by the attorney reflect her share, 6,500 or 0$ Also, what would happen if the estate did not report this income from the rental, could they go back and collect it? more

Resolved Question: needing advise on a warranty deed problem?

ok so my mom bought some land in el paso, texas back in 1993. she paid it off and she is trying to sell this property now but we have a problem. the title company has advised us that the warranty deed is not in my moms name but the previous owner's name. they are wanting us to locate this person who my mom has not had contact with in more than 15 years to get them to sign some papers to change the warranty deed. I have serious doubts that we'll be able to locate this person because last we heard, the previous owner had moved to california. we already have a buyer and this is the only thing holding the sale back. What's gonna happen if we cant find this man? Can the title company find him? we also hired a realtor, but this guy has only spoken to us twice during the whole process.
