The other things you might want to consider are income taxes - if you're switching states.
The Maryland income tax rate is set at 4.75 percent and it applies to the taxable income, and then you have your federal tax rate on top of that.

I have to commute from Columbia Maryland to Washington DC? Whats the quickest public tranportation!? Question: I am relocating to columbia and I have to commute everyday to capitol hill, and I am wondering if it is feasible to commute everyday using public transport, and what kinda transport is available. Your help would be appreciated .. thanks
Answer:
Eyres Bus Service. Runs several trips into Washington D.C.Monday through Friday From 5: 00 AM to 9:00 A.M.in the morning. Returning from D.C. to Columbia MD. from 2:30 P.M. until 9:30 PM. They provide several stops on Capital Hill. It is a very nice to get a extra hour of sleep or get a head start on your next assignment while someone else does the driving. Parking is expensive and parking spaces are hard to find in Downtown Washington.
The commute by POV can be brutal. If you don't know Washington, D.C. and the surrounding aeas have some of the worst commuter traffic jams in the country.

good performance shop near columbia, maryland? Question: looking into getting a turbo kit for my eclipse, anyone know a good shop?
Answer:
depends on how far you want to go. good hi-pro shops are getting more and more rare around here.
If you can tolerate going down to Silver Spring, there still Douglass Speed and Sport on Fenton Street. Make the left off of southbound 29 and its about 1/3 mile up on the left side. Bus station means youve gone too far.

I have no money - GOOD CREDIT - Can I buy a house in Columbia, Maryland?
Answer:
Probably. By no money, do you mean no money for a down payment? It will depend on your income, home prices, and what you can afford for a monthly payment. There are certainly loans out there to get you into a house with no money out of pocket, if your credit score is high enough. If you complete our Mortgage Readiness form we can see what is possible. Go to www.ASKMoneyMetrics.com and you will see it under Free Services, upper right.
