If I’m renting my investment house to college students, how do I go about it?

04 Dec

Do I need ot do a credit check on their parents (who would be cosigners)?
Should I rent month to month or lease, what if they’re bad tenants, which is easier given the need to kick out bad renters (hope that does’t happen).
Should I photograph everything and have them sign duplicate copies of pictures that this is the way the house should be returned (condition)?
ANY ADVICE? I have a renter who’s ready to go and I’m not sure where to turn now. Thanks.
Where’s a good place to get the proper rental forms? (WA state)

Question about Mutual Investing?

08 Sep

I have a 529 college savings plan for my son. They invest in mutual funds. Currently I am investing $40 per month, I know that’s not a lot, but what I can currently afford. My question is this…right now the mutual fund is down, no big deal it fluctuates a lot..but is it better that I make one lump sum investment once per month (what I am currently doing), or breaking it up into 2 investments (of $20 each in this case) that might then take advantage in drops in cost and maybe not hurt so much in price spikes? They do not charge a per transaction fee so it would not cost me any more to break the investment into two payments instead of one.
I’ve been in the same fund since 2003 and currently showing about a 40% return overall. I was just thinking that trying up the number of shares even if only a share or two at a time while they are low might not be a bad idea…guess it would be more worth it if i had a good chunk of money to invest right now while they are down, but I don’t :o (

Need your guys’ opinion about something?

31 Aug

OK heres the deal.
I have 2 children from a previous marriage, I also have two children from my current marriage. My hubbys parents told him that they were going to set up a 529 college savings plan for my children from my present marriage. We told them that we appreciated the offer but we did not want them to do that since right now, we could not afford to open one for my other two kids, Keep in mind that even though they are not his biological children, my hubby is their father in every way.
We just think that it would not be fair for two of our children to have a college savings plan, and not the other two because right now we can not afford to start one for them.
Anyways, his parents blew up at him, saying they didnt care what we wanted that they are doing this. When my hubby said that it wouldnt be fair to the other two, their response was “life isnt fair”
I am pretty furious at them right now that they refuse to respect our wishes for our children

What do you think?
As a loving caring parent I can not give to one child without giving to all of them, even if the money was not from me. How, in 15 yrs can i say to one, Im sorry but i have no money for college for you, then 4 yrs later give my other child a whole crapload of money to pay for it? I dont know what our financial situation will be, or even if we’ll have the money to start a savings for all 4 children. But i do know, that i can not possibly give two children money for continued education and not the others.
to me, the gracious thing to do, is instead of opening the accounts for them, themselves, give us the money that they would have used for two children and we could split it equally between 4.. But they will not do that since they are not their biological grandchildren.

College level algebra about investment rate, and interest?

18 Aug

My niece was over my house tonight and needed some help with her college Algebra homework, and I am lost, so I thought I would ask, she needs to show all her work, so if anyone can do it I would appreciate it. There are a couple problems I will post them seperately.

When P dollars are invested at interest rate I, compounded monthly, for t years, the investment grows to A dollars where A=P(1+i/12)^12t. Find the time it takes $10,000 to grow to $15000 at 4% annually.

Thank You so much
