 Ten things you should do now if you plan on buying In 2004The decision of whether to buy a house in 2004 may seem daunting. Will prices increase? Will interest raises rise? How will the economy fare this year?

Buying may be a stretch, but new homeowners learn to copeFirst-time homebuyers often stretch limited financial resources while fearing unknown expenses.

These errors occurred, accountants said, because many people in late January received incorrect interest, dividend and capital gains income statements - via consolidated Forms 1099 - from their brokers and mutual funds.

But being a homeowner is usually good news at tax time because of the deductions you get. Take a final walk-through before closingThe last thing you want to worry about when you are about to move into your new home is whether your electrical system works, whether the basement leaks, and whether you have an insured warranty to cover it. A rise in interest rates could burst housing market bubbleA three-year home-buying frenzy has set the soaring U.S. housing market up for a likely fall. |
