Before we jump in...
"At Roots, we're not chasing trends or trying to be the next big thing. Real estate isn't meant to be flashy, it's meant to be foundational. While other investments might swing dramatically with each news cycle, Roots reevaluates and updates its unit price and distributes 90% of its profits quarterly, with a steady focus on our 12-15% target annual returns. We're not the guitar solo in your portfolio; we aim to be the steady drumbeat that holds everything together."
- Daniel Dorfman, CEO and Co-Founder of Roots

Property Acquisitions

We’re thrilled to share that Roots has officially expanded beyond Atlanta! A total of 56 properties were added to the fund, with 47 of them just outside Augusta, GA, marking a bold step into new territory.
These new additions are already making a big impact. With a total purchase price of $13.88M and appraisal of $15.13M, that boost played a major role in driving a 16.53% quarter over quarter increase in the fund’s NAV.
Even better? They're projected to bring in over $1.21M in annual rent, driving serious growth.
With these new properties added, Roots now has a total of 244 properties, which breaks down to a total of 378 doors in the fund.
