BRANDON ROOKS
Rockstar Capital earns repeat business for two main reasons. First, simplicity – we know investors look for transparency and avoid complications. Second – we focus on preserving capital or simply NOT losing. Big gains can be wiped out quick with a loss. So, risk mitigation and compounding returns is how we work. One of our main strategies is getting in front of targeted areas for national builders – and getting in and out at the land stage. What that means for investors is that projects are not speculative. And it means we avoid the additional risks of vertical development. By focusing on land, we have what everyone needs AND we get superior returns!
