Is it illegal to earn interest on unsubsidized loans?
by Loan Selector on Nov.01, 2009, under Other - Business & Finance
I’m a student and I get many offers from the government and private companies for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. For those who don’t know, unsubsidized loans are loans where the interest is paid by the government or private company until 6 months after I graduate or become less than a full time student. So it could theoretically be a free loan assuming I repay the principle within those 6 months, therefore avoiding interest.
My question is can I take out these loans and put the principle in high yielding CDs or savings accounts until it is time to pay them back? This way I make money on the interest from the loans, build credit, and won’t have to pay interest. It seems like the government and private companies probably would not want me to do this as I am profitiing from a service that they are hoping to eventually profit from. That’s why I ask if it is illegal in some way. Thanks.

What exactly is a finance charge, and under what circumstances will I need to pay one?
by Loan Selector on Oct.20, 2009, under Credit
Pretty much exactly what the main question says. I have no idea what a “finance charge” is. For instance, would I be charged a finance charge if I charged a purchase, and then paid the balance immediately?
Any additional information that could be given would be great, as I’m considering getting my first credit card, and want to know everything I can so that I don’t get myself into trouble.

How possible would it be to finance a rather cheap house?
by Loan Selector on Oct.17, 2009, under Renting & Real Estate
Ok, this is starting to get rather confusing. I am looking to buy a home in a surprisingly cheap neighborhood. The house I am interested in purchasing is under $50,000. My credit qualifies me for a bad credit loan, but no one wants to finance for such a small amount. I am definately trying to live within my means and do not necessarily want to purchase a higher value home just because I can. Does anyone have any idea where I can finance such a house even though my credit is tarnished (but getting fixed due to multiple discrepencies)? I know there are different requirements depending on the state. My state is PA, and I am first time homebuyer.

How do they process your student loans when you almost at your borrowing limit?
by Loan Selector on Oct.14, 2009, under Financial Aid
I have around $4500.00 left in student loans, and I have two semester left of college. In the fall, I am taking 15 hours, but in the spring I am only taking six. Will they offer the remaining of my loans for the fall semester, and I can use my pell grant for the spring or will they split the remaining loans between the two semesters?

What colleges or universities offer good finance majors?
by Loan Selector on Oct.09, 2009, under Higher Education (University +)
I’m a junior and I’m starting to search for a college or university that best fits me and my major I want to pursue. I want to major in Business/Accounting or Finance because I soon want to become a CFO in a major company one day.

What Loan company will take over my federal student loans when the loans are in forbearance so I can go back to school?
My loans are government loans from Saillie Mae. I owe them under $5000.
I heard about this company that will take over your school loans from them but I don’t know the name of the company.

What are the benefits of a finance major over a simple business administration major?
by Loan Selector on Oct.03, 2009, under Corporations
Trying to decide which major I want, I think I want to go into finance, but I am not sure. I know I am going into business- at a business school.
Also, if there are any people who have careers in finance, what do you specifically and do you like your jobs? Because I have an internship in finance and accounting and it is pretty boring…but it is just because they don’t give me enough work to do so I don’t feel like I have had the true experience.
