Plans to retire from the Marine Corps in 2021, from there fully devote his time and skills to continue growing his real estate portfolio and business.
In 2016, German began his real estate investing experience by fixing and flipping houses in Southern California. During that time, he realized that buy and hold real estate strategy aligned best with his goals.

Throughout his years in the military Oscar has learned about leadership, discipline, grit, and the ability to problem solve complex situations. Beginning early 2020, German has now co-founded two companies with Oscar, REI Brothers and GoodDay Capital. The first company started was the social media outreach and education platform, where showcased are their podcast, blog, and projects. The second company developed was their Real Estate Investing Firm for the purpose of syndicating apartment buildings.
