1-on-1 with Michael Roeder: How This Investor Generated a 103% Annual Return Over 3 Years

Michael’s journey began with a passion for financial freedom and a deep dive into real estate investing while balancing a W2 job. Today, Granite Towers has over $300 million in assets under management and a reputation for disciplined underwriting, investor-first communication, and strong returns—like one recent deal that delivered a 103% annual return over a three-year period.

In this conversation, Michael shares how he chooses which markets to enter, why multifamily remains a strong asset class in today’s shifting economy, and how everyday investors can tap into tax-advantaged returns using their IRAs and 401(k)s. He also unpacks Granite Towers’ investment philosophy, deal sourcing strategies, and the #1 thing every passive investor should understand before wiring their first $50K.
