I watched all of season 3 of Friends. 
Speaker 2
Did you start with Season 1 or just go right to Season 3? That is a good show!! Who's your favorite character? I like Ross! He tries so hard but still comes up short! He makes me laugh!
Speaker 1
I just went back and watched season 3 again. I like Ross, but Rachel is my favorite. 
Speaker 2
Ahhhh I see! You watched them before and now you rewatched season 3. What is it you like about Rachel? You know in real life I think all of those actors got matching tattos. Wish I was brave enough to get a tatto!
Speaker 1
I like Rachel because of her quirkiness.  I didn't know that about the tattoos. I would fit in well! I in the process of finishing my sleeve tattoo. 
Speaker 2
Yes, she is quirky! I think that's why her and Ross work! I think the actors may have done their tattoos for publicity because they are having a reunion show. Wow! A sleeve!!! How long did that take?
Speaker 1
I'm 6 hours into it. I still have 2 more hours to go. This thing is going to cost me 1500 by the time it's complete.
Speaker 2
Ouch! I don't know what would hurt more...the tat or the cost!
Speaker 1
You get kind of addicted to them once you get the first one. Maybe you should think about it. 
Speaker 2
I've definitely thought about it. What was your first tatto of?
Speaker 1
It was a Nirvana smiley face tattoo. 
Speaker 2
Cool! I'd like to have a dolphin on my ankle, but I thought I might start out with a star on my wrist just to see what it's like. How many do you have?

Speaker 1
Are you going to watch season 4 of Friends next?
Speaker 2
Yes!  im hoping to have time tis weekend to watch it.  They just did a reunion special on HBO
Speaker 1
I've seen a bunch of YouTube ads for it, but haven't actually seen it yet. Did you watch it?
Speaker 2
not yet, I want to finish the series before I see the reunion show.  I heard Lady Gaga did a cover of smelly cat.  I really want to see that.
Speaker 1
Oof that sounds like a riot! That song was hilarious enough with Phoebe doing it. Speaking of a New York show, do you have any properties in the city?
Speaker 2
Not in New York.  I have a few in Paramus NJ so its not to far of a drive unless there is traffic
Speaker 1
I'm sure those are occupied all the time. I'm saving, but it feels like getting a property is in the very distant future for me.
Speaker 2
you have to start somewhere.  dont be afraid to start even if its small.  got to learn to fly at some point
Speaker 1
What was the first property you bought? I see a lot of cheap properties in the rough parts of town, but I'm not so sure about buying one of those.
Speaker 2
It was a run down duplex.  I put some work into making it better, but it was in an area that was up and coming so i got in early and was able to raise rates
Speaker 1
That seems to be the key to success. If only I had a crystal ball to know which areas are on the up and up!
Speaker 2
I look for areas where I see other people buying properties or adding retail spaces

Speaker 1
How far are you now in the Friends series?
Speaker 2
I am on season 7 so I only have a few more seasons to go! Have you had time to watch the reunion special yet?
Speaker 1
No I haven't seen it yet but I really want to! Maybe we can watch it together when you've finished all the series. 
Speaker 2
That sounds great! I will let you know when I finish the series. So how is work at your moms coffee shop going?
Speaker 1
It's going okay - I don't especially enjoy the job but I'm just grateful to have one. I really need to save up more money so I can buy a house in a decent area. 
Speaker 2
Have you started searching for homes yet?
Speaker 1
I've looked, but at the moment the only ones I can afford are on the rough side of town, and I really don't want to live there. You work in property don't you? Do you have any recommendations of where I could find a decent property for low price?
Speaker 2
I do manage several rental properties but with the market the way it is, I am not sure I could find a property that meets a low budget. Have you thought about going in on a home or property with a second person?
Speaker 1
To be honest I would rather live alone, I don't think it would end well if I lived with another person. That's why I want to save up the money to buy a decent place. I kind of wish I hadn't spent so much on my latest tattoo...
Speaker 2
Well now you have a goal to work toward! Has your latest tattoo been finished yet?
Speaker 1
Not quite - it needs about 2 more hours of work and then it will be done! I might have to hold off on the last part though, until I've saved up more money. Did you pluck up the courage to get a tattoo yet?
Speaker 2
No, I have not. I cannot decide if it is something I really want or if it is just a phase.

Speaker 1
I just found a great place in a nice neighborhood but its just slightly over budget! Should I bid for below asking?
Speaker 2
Yeah it doesn't hurt to try!
Speaker 1
I guess if I don't get this one I can always try another. I wonder about using a real estate agent.
Speaker 2
A real estate agent can be super beneficial if you're new to the market, but you can also find a lot of information online. Do you have any friends or relatives who are real estate agents?
Speaker 1
No. I have an uncle who is a lawyer, but he practices in a different city, and does family law. Should I just call then number on the for sale sign? or should I try to find a different agent?
Speaker 2
Frind another agent, it'll be less biased! Are you looking at any other places?
Speaker 1
Not right now. I've got my money set aside. It is not bad living with my mom. This was just the perfect location. I'm not in a hurry to buy.
Speaker 2
Okay, that's reassuring. Either way try your best, the market is superhot and everyone's trying to get it. Try not to get lost in the bidding wars.
Speaker 1
One of my friend's mom is a real estate agent. I just remembered her. I think I'll call her. 
Speaker 2
That's great! Make sure to ask her a quote for how high the prices might or might not go! Good luck, let me know if you need anything else.
Speaker 1
Just talking to you makes me feel confident. Like, if it doesn't work out, that'll be ok too. I can save up even more money. 
Speaker 2
I'm glad to be of help. And of course, you have a lot of time, there's no rush.
