Q: Flipping new houses involves actually buying a home or property. So in addition to adding another mortgage to your monthly expenses, you'll also most likely have to come up with a down payment. Hopefully, your sale price will cover these expenses. Regardless, you'll need a large amount of cash on hand and a flexible monthly budget to get started flipping houses. They are also other expenses, like utilities and taxes, that come into play. When you sell the house, you'll also have to pay capital gains tax on your profit. Successful flippers don't simply buy and sell houses without doing any intermediate work or marketing efforts. Realize that you'll have to put in work and expense to make changes to the house in many cases. In others, you'll want to avoid realtor's fees and try to sell the house yourself, which requires some marketing and leg work. Be sure that you are willing to put in the work to do this right. This is not a weekend hobby, but a full-time job. In most cases, you'll have to schedule maintenance, oversee construction on additions or changes, and deal with other issues that arise with the house. You'll also have to show the house to potential buyers on your own if you don't plan to use a realtor. It would be difficult to schedule all of that around another full-time job. Chances are, you'll make at least a few missteps when getting started flipping houses. These mistakes can cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, accidents may occur that cost you thousands or set your current project back weeks or months. If you're the type of person who can't think and act rationally in these times of stress, house flipping may not be for you.
A: Be sure that you have enough extra cash. Manage your expectations. Make sure you have enough free time. Be able to deal with risk and failure.

Article: If you’re determined to have bigger lips and nothing else is giving you the results you want, it may be time to look into lip augmentation.  Before choosing lip augmentation, read about the different methods, read online reviews and personal experiences, and consult a few different doctors. Because lip augmentation is a relatively short and non-invasive procedure it may be tempting to make the decision lightly. As with any cosmetic procedure, however, it’s a decision that needs to be well thought out, as it can have lasting effects on your health and appearance. Lip augmentation usually involves the injection of a dermal filler into your lips and around your mouth.  The most commonly used dermal fillers today contain substances similar to hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in your body.  Collagen was once the most common dermal filler, but it is no longer the No. 1 choice as there are now safer and longer-lasting options.  Fat grafting involves transferring fat from one part of the body to the lips through liposuction. It requires a longer healing time than other methods, as it is the most invasive. Augmentation is a relatively quick procedure that can be completed in your doctor’s office with little to no downtime:  Your lips will likely be numbed before the injections. The doctor will then mark the areas that he/she will inject before injecting them with fine needles. After the injections, ice may be applied to ease discomfort and swelling. You’ll need to avoid putting any products on your lips immediately after the procedure. Ask your doctor for advice on what’s okay to put on your lips, and when. The exception to quick lip augmentation procedures is fat injection, which requires some liposuction to remove fat from one part of your body before injecting it into your lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers are unlikely to cause allergic reactions because they’re made from substances similar to those found in the body; however, reactions are still possible.  Common side effects include bleeding, redness and tenderness at the injection sites, and swelling and bruising. More serious side effects include severe and prolonged swelling and bruising lasting longer than a week; lip asymmetry; lumps and irregularities in the lips; infections; and ulcers and scarring that can cause the lips to become stiff. The specific ingredients contained in your dermal filler will depend on the product used. Some contain lidocaine, which can cause an allergic reaction. If you think you might be allergic to a filler ingredient, discuss this with your doctor before the procedure.

Q: If you're trying to deal with persistent gossips take them aside individually and discuss the issue. Especially if you're someone in a position of authority, you might need to take care of a situation with gossiping.  Deal with chronic gossipers. Figure out who they are and try to avoid them. If you can't avoid them, don't give them the satisfaction of imparting information to you. When they try to gossip, change the subject, or get away from them. Unlike people who gossip every once in a while, chronic gossipers are unlikely to be deterred by a simple talking to. For example: if Dan, your brother-in-law, constantly discusses your siblings around you and talks about how his sister is a harpy and his brother is a thief, take him aside and ask him what the problem is with your siblings. Tell him that it isn't appropriate to pass along information about them to other people. If there is a problem (your brother actually has stolen something from him, for example), help to deal with it. Remember that men are just as likely to gossip as women, even if it isn't often called gossip, but men can pass harmful or inaccurate information, too. When someone comes to you with a juicy bit of harmful gossip, find a way to deflect the situation, or make the gossiper aware of the harmful nature of what they're saying.  Some ways to gently turn the attention towards the harmful nature of gossip: "Let's look at this from X's point of view," (X being the subject of the gossip) "Why do you talk about X so much?" or "Hey, maybe we could find a way to fix this" try to find a way to get to the bottom of the gossiper's issue with the person they are spreading rumors about. If they are a chronic gossiper, you're probably going to have to shut them down a little more forcefully. Sometimes you just have to move away from negative gossiping and focus on something more positive. try to do this without blaming the gossiper, because that can turn their ire on you.  When they start gossiping, say something like "Hey, we should plan what we're going to this afternoon after work." They usually will forget about it. You can also say something like "This conversation has gotten really negative about X. Let's talk about something more positive" (especially if the subject of the gossip is negative). In the end, if you can't turn the topic of the conversation, it's best to walk away or explain that you're not interested in hearing that type of gossip. You may irritate the person gossiping and they might say things about you, which are welcome to contradict. However, it might be best simply to not engage with that type of situation.  For example, you could say something like "Hey, I'm not interested in hearing unsubstantiated rumors about so-and-so," or "I don't really care what X's sexuality is." If you simply don't want to make a big deal out of the situation, you could make an excuse "I have to get back to work" or "I have to go home," etc.
