Apartment rents keep on rising in Los Angeles County

http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-la-apartment-rents-20130501,0,4811820.story

Rents in Hollywood have climbed in the last 12 months. Above, the Avenue apartment complex in Hollywood. (Francine Orr / Los Angeles Times / May 1, 2013)
Apartment vacancies plunged in Hollywood during the last 12 months and rents increased as the neighborhood continued to rebound from the recession. But vacancies were still more plentiful in the Santa Clarita Valley, where former renters bought low-priced homes.

Rents rose across most of Los Angeles County during that time as both blue- and white-collar companies added jobs at a faster pace than the national average, a report said. And landlords are expected to continue raising apartment rents in the months ahead, especially in neighborhoods where empty apartments are scarce.

    How to Protect Your Personal Finances From Business Risks

    One of the most misunderstood concepts in the law, especially for small business owners, is how to protect personal wealth. Many business owners get taken advantage of with high-priced asset protection plans that don't provide the protection they promise. Others avoid the topic and buy more insurance, crossing their fingers that an expensive lawsuit or accident doesn't befall them.

    Part-timers to lose pay amid health act's new math

    Some workers are having their hours cut so employers won't have to cover them under Obamacare. But many will benefit from the healthcare law's premium subsidies and Medicaid expansion.

    Will ‘Sell in May’ Come True This Year?

     
    It’s baseball season, so superstition is back in fashion in the stock market – not least, the old chestnut, “sell in May and go away!” And this little rhyme is not really like wearing the same socks to keep a win streak going; indeed, it’s all about knowing when to “fold” on the 2013 equity winning streak, take your cash and head to the beach. And there are even some statistics that bear out the claim that stock market returns in the May-September period do tend to run lower than over the remainder of the 12-month cycle commencing on May Day.

    Why Your Credit Score Is So Bad


    A Credit.com reader named Roger recently took me to task for my blog post, How to Decode Your Credit Score, that focused only on high credit scores and neglected some of the common reason codes that accompany lower credit scores:
    What about reason codes: Serious delinquency and or public record or collection filed. Time since delinquency too short, or my favorite Number of delinquent accounts. OH Yeah, we are talking about how to decode your extremely high credit score…. I forgot.
    My apologies go out to Roger and others who have some negatives on their credit report, as the reason codes they receive are just as important and can be just as confusing as the codes that come with the higher scores.

    My Smartest Money Move: Taking More From My Retirement



    We’re taught to think of retirement savings as a source of last resort — money that we shouldn’t touch until all other resources have been used up. However, given the way the tax rules work in combination with the nature of Social Security benefits, it can often be in your best interest to use your retirement savings (IRAs, 401(k) accounts, and the like) to allow you to delay and maximize your Social Security benefits. Below is a version of a situation that I recently worked through with a client.

    Are Credit Report Errors Costing You?

    http://www.grandparents.com/money-and-work/saving-and-investing/dispute-credit-report


     

    One in four credit reports has an error—and it could be hurting your financial health.

    If you're not qualifying for the same low interest rates as your neighbor, it may not be your fault. A study by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that one out of every four consumers has a mistake on at least one of their credit reports. One in 20 found a mistake significant enough to raise their credit score by more than 25 points. For consumers with low credit scores, that can mean the difference between qualifying for a loan or not. For those with higher scores, a 25 point boost could result in a significantly lower interest rate on a loan or mortgage.

    Public vs. Private Student Loans: Why the Differences Matter to You

    http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/05/01/student-loans-public-vs-private-paying-for-college/ 

    Now that college acceptance season is well under way, the time has come to get focused on the next harrowing step on the road from high school to the dorm: Paying for it. As hard as it is to get into the college of your dreams, financing four (or more) years there can be even more difficult. And just as the college and major you choose can have a huge impact on the rest of your life, the way you choose to pay for your education can mean the difference between a manageable post-college debt and a crushing burden that will dominate your financial life for years after graduation
