Q: Over time, dried up hair spray particles build up and obstruct the nozzle. Remove the nozzle from the can and hold it under hot water for a few minutes. Return the nozzle to the bottle and attempt to spray the product. After rinsing the nozzle, you may scrape the dried hairspray particles off of the nozzle with a toothpick or needle. However, please note that this might damage the nozzle and spray system. If your nozzle is still clogged, attempt to dissolve the dried hair spray particles with rubbing alcohol. Remove the nozzle from the hair spray. Submerge it in a small dish of rubbing alcohol. Allow the nozzle to soak for several hours. Rinse the nozzle under warm water and return it to the bottle. Try to spray the product through the nozzle. Repeat if needed. Hair spray nozzles become clogged with dried hair spray particles are allowed to build up on the nozzle. To prevent this from occurring, clean the nozzle after each use. Remove the hair spray residue with a clean, damp rag. If your hair spray nozzle is constantly becoming clogged, check the product’s expiration date. Expired hair spray tends to dry faster, causing more clogs.
A: Loosen the clog with hot water. Soak the nozzle in rubbing alcohol. Prevent clogs in the future.

Q: Location is as important for commercial property as for residential property. Swing by the building and look at the surrounding neighborhood. Also see how close you are to public transportation. A building accessible only by car might only be attractive to middle-class people.  If you're buying retail space, assess whether the building is visible from the road and whether there is sufficient foot traffic. Also check out the businesses nearby. Will they pull in a different clientele, or are they compatible with your business? If you're buying apartment buildings, check out the condition of neighboring buildings. Are there amenities nearby, such as grocery stores, schools, and hospitals? Walk through to check whether the building is worn down, and assess how much repair it needs. If you have no idea, then ask a contractor to walk through the building with you. You can find contractors in your phone book. You might be buying a commercial property with the intent to rent it out. Ask the bank how many units are being rented and how long the tenants have been there.  Try to get the “rent-roll” from the bank, which contains important information: the complete list of units, names of tenants, and terms of each lease. If the bank won't hand this information over, you might try to contact the former owner. The current landlord might not be charging a market rent. Research what other landlords are charging in the area. You can visit websites such as padmapper.com or talk to property management companies. Make sure to visit buildings to see that they are comparable. If a building has a much better location, then they might be able to charge a higher rent than you. You want to be accessible to people who drive. Check how much parking comes with the building and whether there is a parking lot or garage nearby. Sometimes, zoning laws or building codes will limit what you can do to the inside and outside of the building. Find this information out by talking to the bank and your local zoning board. For example, some businesses are limited in the signage that they can use outside the building. It's better to know these limitations before you buy. Your broker should arrange for appraisers, engineers, and environmental analysts to visit the building and check its soundness. You want to know whether there are any potential problems, such as faulty wiring or a compromised structure.  You might not be able to inspect the property until you go to contract. Nevertheless, it is important to have all of these experts lined up ahead of time, because you won't get a long closing period. Inspection is particularly important because most REOs are sold “as is,” meaning the buyer is solely responsible for all repairs. Because the bank foreclosed on the property, they might have incomplete (or nonexistent) financial records on how well the building performed. Ask for what is available. Your broker will want to see this information to help you calculate your bid.
A: Look at location. Check the physical condition of the building. Ask about current tenants. Analyze what you can charge for rent. Assess the adequacy of parking. Check limitations on what you can do to the building. Hire people to inspect the building. Ask the bank for financial records.

Q: yet warm around them. Don’t be cold-shouldered and aloof around your in-laws and expect them to like you. Put your best foot forward and demonstrate a relaxed, inviting personality. Smile, greet them warmly, shake hands, and hug, if that’s typical in your family. Let your in-laws know that you’re interested in developing a relationship with them and they’ll have a positive perception of you. Do this by taking an interest in their lives and their interests. A simple, “How’s that garden coming along, Mrs. Henderson?” or “Have you been fishing lately. Mr. Greene? I’d love to hear about your latest catch,” can show how thoughtful you are. Parents love to feel like they are imparting knowledge onto their children—in-laws are no different. Show regard for them and their unique skills by asking their advice about a dilemma or requesting that they teach you something. For example, if your father-in-law built an impressive deck, you might ask him for pointers on your own backyard landscaping. If your mother-in-law is a talented baker, ask her to show you how to make her famous apple pie. You can also show interest in the lives and histories of your in-laws by asking them to tell you more about their own upbringings or what your spouse was like as a child. Sharing heartfelt or funny stories can help you bond. You might say, “Sylvia is so determined. Was she like that as a girl, too?” Nothing shows your attention and consideration like keeping up with the little things. Help your in-laws develop fond feelings for you by noticing the little details that are important to them. For example, if you invite your in-laws over for dinner, purchase the type of wine they like. If your father-in-law had a big presentation at work, ask how it went the next time you see him. Another way to make your in-laws like you is by giving them gifts. Consider picking up a bouquet of their favorite flowers before a visit or ask them to tag along when you score tickets to a sporting event. Don’t overdo the gift-giving, as this can come off as insincere or make them feel like you are trying to “buy” their affection. However, gifts can be a thoughtful way to show your in-laws how much you care.
A:
Be polite Inquire about their lives. Ask their advice. Ask them to tell stories. Remember little details. Bring gifts.
