Answer by Itchy1977
not that simple I’m afraid. APR is an incredibly complex equation to take into account compounded interest and any hidden charges.

The flat rate is the actual interest rate. APR is simply for comparing the overall cost between lenders. It actually bears no resemblance to the rate you pay.

Question by Marian: How did the real estate business collapse?
How many billionaires were involved in this scam? When & what year will this recover?

Answer by kemperk
in college classes on economics, sildenafil we learn two critical terms;
micro and macro economics. that means, local and Nationwide.

RE did not collapse everywhere but in parts of many cities and states.

Thus, your query, collapse, is accurate only in the micro sense; only certain city’s RE fell
heavily………..in some cities, no RE fell.

How many billionaires were involved? Few. Much of it occurred because speculators
in CA or a few other states, got pinched with high gas prices and stopped buying RE.
Also, unfortunately, the speculators forced prices up ARTIFICIALLY. By this summer
when things will bottom out, prices will not be LOW, but actually, where they were
10 yrs ago, before the artificially High prices started.

I know, factually, in 3-7 yrs, based on where a person lives, RE prices will be where
they were 2 yrs ago. IT is a researchable roller coaster. But it always ends higher
except where political injection or land harm occurs.

  1. I am Canadian, but I am 100% sure that student loans are not considered income here, and I seriously doubt they would be considered income down there! The government usually tries to give students a break!

  2. No, a loan is not income.

  3. nO

  4. No, but if you use the money for anything other than school (tuition, books, etc.) you have to report the money as income on Line 21 of your tax return.

  5. Yes and no, If you use the loan as for tution, it will not be concider income. But it does however help you use the intrest you pay as a deduction later on. And for now that your in school and u use it toward tution and books, it help you apply for a education credit on taxes. Yes it’s income if you use it for boarding expenses and personal needs.

  6. No the loan is not income. You should receive a form at the end of the year stating how much interest you paid to the financial institution you are paying the money back to and that is a credit on your tax return. Any interest you EARN on the money is taxable and you should receive a 1099-int from the financial institution you have the money in IF it is an interest bearing account. Check out the irs.gov website. There are many deductions and credits for college students.

  7. A loan, student loan or not, is not income no matter what you use it for – a loan means you have to pay it back.

    If you default on a loan and the lender writes it off, then you could become liable for tax on the amount written off since it could be considered as income.
