In this episode, Wayne talks to Ruben Greth. This is his second time on the show! Ruben has a popular podcast about raising money for multi-family syndications called the Capital Raiser Show, where he learns from the best multi-family syndicators in the country.  Ruben started in real estate by raising $625,000 of joint venture money from social media to buy small multi-family deals in Phoenix, Arizona. He is an expert in marketing, brand awareness, and capital raising. 

In 2019, Ruben partnered with one of the top syndicators in the acquisitions of 190 units and has since become a fund manager who is building over $48 Million worth of subdivisions in Louisiana and Alabama and partnering with multiple select syndicators bringing equity, advisory and investor management. 

Ruben is a managing partner of Legacy Acquisition, which is quickly becoming the premier build-to-rent and community builder in Arizona.
