In the game of Monopoly, the players’ goal is to become financially sound by buying, redeveloping, and selling pieces of property. Detroit-based real estate investors, Eric Friday and Jamiel Strickland, are playing Monopoly in real life, with real pieces. Through the Monopoly Brothers brand, which started in 2022, Friday and Strickland envision building generational wealth. And instead of bankrupting other property investors, they teach others how to build wealth. With a goal of creating a community chest that can grow through real estate investing, the Monopoly Bros. host real estate events, conferences, property tours, and podcast interviews to educate and assist other investors. Their mission is to always provide more value than they capture. In 2021, Friday and Strickland purchased their own version of Boardwalk, a 52-unit apartment in Michigan for $5.6 million.
