How To Your Tax Refund into A Real Estate Investment Opportunity With As Little As $100

Tax Day is just a month away, and as Americans look for smart ways to maximize their refunds, many may not realize they can invest in real estate and strengthen their community for as little as $100, with potential returns of up to 17%.

Roots Investment Community, a real estate impact investment company, is making property ownership and wealth-building accessible to anyone — even non-accredited investors. Unlike traditional real estate investments, Roots’ approach allows renters to build wealth while they rent, bridging the gap between investors and tenants.

For those looking to turn their tax refund into long-term financial growth, investing in real estate through Roots offers an opportunity to earn and contribute to community development at the same time.

“After working hard for that money, real estate investing can make your money work for you,” said Roots co-founder Daniel Dorfman. “For Roots, its about giving back to the community as well.”

Founded in 2021, Roots has grown to 11,300 investors and aims to house one million renting families by 2028. What sets it apart is its “Live in it Like You Own it” program, where residents earn equity incentives by maintaining their rental properties.

Roots is part of a broader movement making real estate investment more accessible, joining companies like Arrived and Landa, which offer simple, online platforms for fractional property investing.

Roots investors have seen total returns of 61% since its launch, with projected annual returns of 12–15%. Recognized as a 2024 Pacesetter by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the company is proving that real estate investing can be both profitable and socially impactful.
