Word on the street is that Steve was stupid enough to give Mark his savings for a deal, and, a few years later Mark was dumb enough to go along with Steve’s random idea to buy property strictly for short-term rentals in a city neither lived in.

Mark's on the left, Steve’s on the right. And yes, we both love blue blazers and pink shirts as much as we love earning while we sleep.
