I would like to find some institutions that provide mortgage loans to an LLC but haven’t been able to find any that don’t require 40% down payments or something ridiculous like that. Is this the norm?

I have heard that islamic banks give out interest free loans because islam forbids charging interest. How can they afford to do this? What is the catch? What is in it for them? Why would anyone take out a regular loan with interest if this type is available?

After I came home from having my taxes done, I found the 2007 IRA contribution information forms 5498 that I forgot to give the accountant. It says all the money that I put into a Simple IRA in 2007. I didn’t take any money out in 2007. Will this affect my tax return? Should I re-do my taxes?
