He's a friend of mine and is looking for more stories like this. 

If not that, then I would like to cloud condo the 2 properties so I could sell them seperately down the road once I add second stories to them (that's a whole 'nother thread!).

I have MANY crazy stories over the years and would have to share them as I have known you over the years.

Whether or not they impact your debt to income ratio negatively is another story.

Thats a different story.  

Thank you, always positive and I tried to sign up for today's webinar and it said invalid token.

I have about a dozen horror stories of some guy buying in a market he knew nothing about and believing the value some turnkey company placed on the property, and overpaying by thousands (big deal in a sub $100k market).Not trying to scare you away from the idea, but you have to do your due diligence.

I would just ask him if he could share his story of how he got started and why he chose real estate. 

Hey everyone, I first want to say that Bigger Pockets has helped me out so much along the way with all the stories I have read on the forums.

Any advice, tips, stories of experiences are more than welcome!
