In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Being a landlord is not passive income or a part-time job. You will have many responsibilities when it comes to managing the property. This includes selecting and communicating with tenants, repairing the property when necessary, and dealing with a large variety of day-to-day issues. Make sure that you aren't already juggling too much with work and family before deciding to become a landlord. If you don't have time to manage the property yourself, you will need to find a good property management company. However, this may be prohibitively expensive at first. In order to rent out a property, you'll obviously have to purchase it first. This will be done with a buy to let mortgage, which is assessed differently than an owner occupied mortgage. The bank will consider the potential rental income and expenses of the property versus the owner's ability to pay for it. Use a mortgage calculator online to determine how much you can afford to spend on a rental property. If this is your first rental property, you may still need to meet the income requirement for a rental mortgage. This will be calculated in addition to your current mortgage. After a few years of proven rental success, the requirement may be waived. Owning a rental property can have unexpected problems. Your tenant can lose their job and not be able to pay the rent. You have to have enough money in the bank to get you through months without any money coming in. There are owners who are dependent on the rent to pay their mortgage. If you are in that situation then do not buy until you have a six month reserve built up.  Remember that you will also need to pay for property taxes and regular maintenance on the property. Unexpected expenses can arise from anywhere. The cost of each can range from negligible to very expensive. Never buy real estate as an investment unless you have a 10 to 15 year horizon. Housing bubbles seem to come every 10 to 15 years and everyone wants a piece of the action. The great majority of people never get the chance to get out in time and get financially hurt. The wise investor is not swayed by greed and quick returns. They buy homes that make financial sense as a rental, not as a quick opportunity to make money. Investing with a partner or partners can provide a number of benefits. Partners can pool resources and talent between them, allowing for greater potential investment success. However, you will need to find partners that are fair and easy to work with. Ideally, you will find a partner with a skill set complementary to yours. For example, if you excel at home improvements and maintenance, try finding a partner who is skilled with crunching numbers.  Set up your partnership with an operating agreement that lays out responsibilities, contributions, and the division of returns. Having a partner can give you the ability to more easily qualify for a mortgage.
Summary: Assess your ability to manage the property. Seek a buy to let mortgage. Make sure you have needed financial reserves. Invest for the long term. Locate partners.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The CrustaStun is a more recent invention that was created to kill shellfish quickly, humanely, and without making too much of a mess. This machine works with electricity, and comes in both industrial-sized (for restaurants) and countertop models that are the size of a small suitcase. The CrustaStun has a tank that you’ll need to fill with saltwater before using the machine. Once you’ve done that, pick up the lobster by its back where its tail meets its body and place it onto the tray in the Crustastun. Make sure that the lobster’s claws are held closed with rubber bands before you handle it. Close the lid and simply press the stun button and the lobster will be shocked. This will make the lobster go unconscious within half a second and die within ten. After you’ve pressed the stun button, open the lid and take the lobster off of the tray. Don’t worry about getting shocked; the electric current only affects the inside of the machine and is only possible when the lid is closed and the button is pressed.
Summary: Get a CrustaStun machine. Fill the CrustaStun with saltwater and put the lobster in. Press the stun button. Remove the lobster from the CrustaStun.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This should ensure that you use the cleaning methods in every bit of the zipper possible. Use your fingers to hold the zipper by the pull and tug up and down. Try using needle nose pliers to hold the zipper by the slider or “car” and try to move that up and down. Don't be too rough with it so that the zipper doesn’t break or get off track. If the zipper is stuck, try rubbing it with beeswax or a block of paraffin wax before cleaning it. You can find such items at health stores, hardware stores, and some supermarkets. If you’re outdoors without access to additional supplies, try using a bar of soap or candle wax to loosen the zipper, if you have one of those on hand. Sometimes salt will dissolve in freshwater. Wash the zipper under a tap or hose. Alternately, you can use a bucket of warm water. Try using a small wire brush to scrub the zipper with water. Make sure that the brush is small enough or positioned so that the brush does not damage the material the zipper is attached to. Use a non-detergent soap solution in a bucket of warm water. Use a stiff brush to scrub the zipper. Make a fresh soapy water solution by adding five tablespoons of soap powder to 20 liters of water. Stir it in a bucket until it’s sudsy. Dispose of any leftover solution once finished.
Summary:
Open the zipper as much as possible. Use beeswax to loosen the zipper. Rinse the zipper thoroughly with freshwater. Wash the zipper with a soap solution.
