Background

About John Ruza

As CEO of Rose Capital, I lead a real estate development firm focused on acquiring, renovating, and repositioning small multifamily assets to provide high-quality housing within the affordable sector. We combine disciplined underwriting with targeted capital strategies to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns for our investors—while creating lasting value in the communities we serve. Our vertically integrated model includes an in-house construction team that manages our renovations and builds. This allows us to maintain tight control over budgets, timelines, and quality—ensuring efficiency from acquisition to stabilization. My expertise lies in capital raising, deal structuring, and asset optimization. I’ve built a track record of sourcing undervalued opportunities and executing value-add strategies that drive both performance and impact. At Rose Capital, we believe profitability and purpose can—and should—coexist. I’m actively seeking to connect with investors, lenders, and operating partners who share that vision.
