Rooster Equity Partners

A commercial real estate fund management platform focused on net lease and ground lease investments, disciplined underwriting, and durable income.

Ben Kogut · Founder

What Ben builds

Ben began as a broker, built a track record sourcing and syndicating individual commercial real estate deals, and now leads Rooster as a fund manager. That progression shapes how he evaluates every allocation: start with the downside, then earn the upside.

Rooster focuses on net lease and ground lease investments where tenant credit, lease structure, location, and portfolio fit can work together to create durable income for accredited investors.

The philosophy is simple: Return OF capital is more important than return ON capital. Protect first, grow second.
