Ep. 215: How to Increase Social Media Engagement with Oscar and German Buendia

German and Oscar were both serving in the military, but only recently began investing in multifamily. Sparked by a family scare while deployed, Oscar and German decided to build up a multifamily portfolio to provide some flexibility. After overcoming limiting beliefs, they built relationships online to do their first deal in Ohio.

 

The REI Brothers developed a strong engagement on social media, which was especially interesting since they did not have a huge following. They figured out that there are specific tactics to drive reach and engagement without having a huge audience following you. Oscar and German share their journey from being enlisted investors to growing their GoodDay Capital firm, how they work with property managers, and tips to drive engagement on social media.
