Louis J. Rogers: Pioneering Tax-Advantaged Real Estate Investments

Louis J. Rogers, the visionary founder and co-CEO of Capital Square, has established himself as a leading authority in real estate investment, particularly in Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges and Opportunity Zone developments. With a career spanning over three decades, Rogers has been instrumental in structuring over $4 billion in real estate syndications and has expanded Capital Square into a vertically integrated firm managing nearly $8 billion in assets. His leadership has propelled the company to launch nine Opportunity Zone funds, developing over 2,000 multifamily units across the Southeastern and Mountain West markets, valued at approximately $800 million. Rogers' innovative strategies, including build-for-rent communities and upscale modular neighborhoods, aim to address housing affordability while generating significant economic impact, such as creating over 600 construction jobs in Knoxville alone. Beyond real estate, Rogers is a published author, with his book Section 1031 Exchanges: How to Swap Till Ya’ Drop serving as a definitive guide on tax-advantaged real estate investing, with royalties supporting Richmond’s Children’s Hospital.
