I am interested in learning whether a bond that funds capital improvements to libraries and other public buildings can be used for furniture, fixtures, equipment and technology.

It can help with anything that has to do with the library, or whatever is being improved. If a library or organization has badly damaged furniture, replace it as part of the improvement. Dilapidated walls, fix them. The money is for improvements,after all. That's my take on it, and I've lived in California, all my life.

One catch is, if the property is improved (has a structure on it) you will generally not be able to inspect the property before buying it.  So you would be taking it "as is."  I think people and companies who make money at this probably have enough money to buy several such properties at a time, and they can average out the risks and make a good profit in the long run.  But they will need to have plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters available to do repairs as necessary in order to make the structures habitable -- or they must have the skills and time to do the work themselves, obtaining permits and following codes as required.\n\nIf the properties are just vacant lots, the risks are different: they just need to know how much land is worth in a given area, and be able to afford to pay taxes on the properties until they can be sold.

Probably loads, but it is a genuine user supported nonprofit. I doubt they ever will sell advert spaces. It would ruin everything they have built.\n--CJ

It depends on the state you are in and the use of the funds.  Often, these resources are tied to SBA loans or some type of CCDC marketable tax credits.  Basically, you would still have to personally guarantee the loan...same as any collateralized bank loan.  Check with your local SBA officer.  They can help you.

Contact local businesses.  They might donate when they upgrade their equipment.

No, I don't believe so, because those businesses in return becomes taxpayers too, also most of the businesses becomes assets to the growth and development of the neighborhood.  I do believe the agency should have task force which does studies in defining which business may be pratical for its use of the funds, and not allocate funds just because persons want to go into business.  I also believe the agencies responsible for allocating funding should be held accountable for how the money is allocated, and being used.  There are very good viable small businesses barely surviving and grants allocated to them would be good not only for them, but for the employees, communioty and economics.

Yes.  If you have collateral, you take out a loan with a bank.  Also, you can secure a credit card and establish a history.\n\nAditionally, there are several government back loans, managed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that can be applied for mortgates (or FHA or GI Bill).  There are also student loans that can be taken out for studies.  You really have to be more specific.  It seems that you don't know anything at all about finance...I would recommend you learn a lot more before you start taking out loans.  Read up on it first.

If they are U.S. Savings bonds, you can cash them in at your bank.  As far as the name, it depends on how far off your name they are.  If your name is Thomas and she used Tommy, it's no big deal.  Just show your driver's license.  If your name is Robert and your grandmother put Bobo, you may have a problem.\n\nJust remember that at this point they are only worth 1/2 face value.

Probably not, but your city or county may have a Housing Code Inspections office that can give you more info.  This may be part of the department of housing or of community affairs.  The below link can give you one community's example but each community may have its own standards.

It's a scholarship in the sense that the financial aid office of your school will treat it as such, and you will not get any other money out of them.  But if it is more than needed for essentials, such as tuition, books, rent, food, laundry, etc., then some of it can be used for entertainment, etc.  Just don't run out before the end of the semester.
