About Larry Dorfman

Larry Dorfman is the co-founder and managing partner of Roots, an Atlanta-based residential real estate investment community (REIT) founded in 2020–2021, and previously served as Chairman/CEO of EasyCare for 36 years. His investment thesis centers on democratizing real estate ownership by enabling renters to build wealth and credit through single-family properties in the Sun Belt, particularly Atlanta, Augusta, Nashville, and Oklahoma City. Roots operates as a non-accredited Reg A+ REIT with a $100 minimum investment, offering quarterly distributions and redemptions without penalty after the first year. While Dorfman is an angel/individual investor by classification, the firm’s typical check size for residents starts at $100, and he co-leads the initiative alongside his son Daniel Dorfman and Scott Jacobsen. Notable aspects of the portfolio include 563 properties across 698 doors with 29,500+ investors as of April 2026, generating a 17.17% average annual return over 4.75 years. A distinctive point of view is Roots’ “Live In It Like You Own It” program, which lets residents earn rebates and accumulate wealth while renting, having generated over $465,000
