I have been wanting to go on mission trips for a while but i dont have the money to Go, I work full time in a ministry and dont get paid. ( I work for room and board) My question is do you have any advice on getting funding for short term trips?

What advice would you give someone thinking of investing in a serviced apartment?

I’ve been thinking about investing in a studio or 1 bedroom inner-city apartment in Melbourne or Sydney as a long-term rental income stream. Any suggestions or advice welcome.

Considering a short term move to Hawaii, need some advice?

short term room
I am going to be graduating college in May, and am planning on moving temporarily to Honolulu (3-12 months). I plan on renting a room month to month, I noticed that there were many being advertised from 450-750 a month. I have a few questions; should I consider anywhere else other than Honolulu? I chose this area because it has a lot of nightlife and happenings, and I would likely be able to find a job — not looking to start a career, but just enough to pay rent and have a little spending money. I figure the bus and maybe a bicycle is all I will really need for transportation, wouldn’t you say? Any additional advice on neighborhoods to avoid or to look more closely at? If I end up finding a great room on the other end of the island, can I still commute fairly easily to Honolulu by bus if I provide enough time?

Thanks for any and all help!

I would like to buy a house. However, I am not sure if I will stay in the same area after three years since I may get relocated to overseas (with family). I would like to get your advice regarding this issue. My concerns are: 1-If I buy a house and put a 5% down payment, I understand that the first few years (10 years for a 30 years plan) will be for paying the interest on the house. So if I sell the house after 3-5 years, what I get in return? Do I loose money? 2-Is it easy to sell a house after you buy it for a short time? Does that affect the price? (Assuming that the other factors are not involved such as the economy, ..etc.) 3-Do I get at least my money back? (what I paid during the 3- years). 4-I understand the benefit of the tax reduction but how much would that affect my savings. My current tax bracket is 15% and I am married. Household income is $60,000. Thanks.
