twitter is a website where you update ppl in your network of your day to day activities. thats it, just posting updates of what your up to. this is different than myspace in many ways. myspace is a way to keep in touch with friends by actually talkign to them than posting just updates. twitter i guess you could say is a very simple basic version of myspace. there is a lot more to myspace than there is with twitter.

Discovered some mold in a house we were intending to buy. It is in one corner of the house with too much sprinkling right outside. The seller is fixing it. How serious is this? How much is the price affected, now and when I want to sell the house in a few years?

I own some shares of a mutual fund. Will I be taxed in the coming years on the capital gains and dividends, even if I reinvest them and do not sell any shares?

Convenants are conditions built into the deeds of your house which limit what you can do with it. In my case, I’ve got one that says I’m not allowed to personalise my front garden.
What would happen if I did it anyway? Would I be breaking the law, if the changes made were not hurting anyone else? Is it down to the local council to make you conform to the covenants?

I work for a private company which is owned by my boss’ family. During the firm’s reorganization on 1/1/2005, my boss’ wife acquired 20% of the company’s ownership and gave 4% to me as a gife at the same time. The gift stock she gave me cost her $26,000, with a $27,000 fair value on 1/1/2005.
Now, the fair value of my stock increases to $38000. I plan to cash out 25% of it (worth $9500).
Questions:
1. What would be my tax consequence and cost basis? Should I pay estimate tax before liquidating the stock?
FYI, my annual gross income is $40,000 (Salary).
2. What would be the tax consequence for my employer (the firm)? How should the firm report such liquidating transaction? On 1099DIV for $27000, $26000, $95,00, or what?
Thanks in advance for your kindly assistance.

I am trying to buy a house via short sale. The first mortgage approved the offer, but the second is no longer held by a bank – its held by a collections company! The collections company is demanding tens of thousands of dollars. The house is a few weeks from being auctioned. If this house goes to auction does the collections company get nothing like in a standard second mortgage position, or can they place a lien on the house to protect their interest?
