If your next investment had to protect your principal first and chase returns second, what would you choose and why?
Ben Kogut is the founder of Rooster Equity and a longtime triple net commercial real estate operator who has raised over 115 million from more than 300 investors. He joins host Jonathan Mitchell on Skip the Lines to share how he went from triple net brokerage to becoming a full-time capital raiser and sponsor, leaning heavily on mentorship, disciplined underwriting, and a simple principle of protecting investor capital first.
Ben breaks down triple net investing in plain English, including how his team manages assets remotely with local property managers while keeping financial oversight in house. He also talks through market shifts, why some multifamily operators are under pressure, and how he evaluates tenants and locations with tools like Placer.
