Roni asked:


I am starting a small business. I have everything organized and ready to go. Since the business is just starting I will be the only person working. The company will be in the marketing/lead generation field. Mostly online marketing and online lead generation. I will be working out of my professional home office until I get business rolling.

I want to know what is the best type of phone that I should use for my business? Would it be unprofessional to use a cell phone? I have a cell phone , that I have had for years, the area code does not even match the state in which I stay in now. Should I get a separate cell phone for my business? Should I get a separate land line phone? What is the best thing I should use starting up? I need the phone cost to be reasonable yet I would like to be professional. Any other tips you may have on being professional working from home.

Also I would like suggestions on something free I could use for online chat. So my potential customers can ask questions via chat!

Thanks for your answers in advance

bigdonut72 asked:


my wifes parents are claiming bankruptcy (business closed) and are leaving their house. we would like to buy a housethey could stay in, near to us (within 5 miles). Some lenders require more (down payment/higher rate) because this is an investment property but i have been told that they are family and this could be my second home (lower down/lower rate). my attorney states that we should have a lease, and would pay taxes on a fair market rent, but we dont plan on charging them. Will I have to pay taxes on a non-existent income? can I still get the tax deductions for mortgage interest and city taxes I pay? can they homestead the property? I’m lost. any knowledgeable direction is greatly appreciated. Basically, can I buy a second home for myself and let my in-laws stay for free? Will I have claim this as income producing (even though it’s not)? Are tax advantages better one way or another?
