What make Equity Residences equity funds the best in class among luxury vacation home investment options?

Equity Residences funds provide unique opportunities for accredited investors who desire an upscale lifestyle combined with low-risk/high-reward investments and an income stream that offsets or eliminates annual investor fees. The fund pools money from accredited investors to purchase a collection of beautiful vacation homes in exceptional locations. At the end of the 10-year Utilization Period, the homes are sold and the proceeds, including appreciation, are distributed to the investors. During the Utilization Period, investor families can enjoy amazing and valuable vacations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have a proven track record of buying right and cost-effective remodels.

How do I make money?

At the end of the 10-year investment period we sell the homes. You and your fellow limited partners recoup your initial investments, plus share 80% of any profits from appreciation.
Annual cash dividends are distributed pro-rata once property and fund operating costs are covered and adequate reserves are maintained.
During the 10-year hold period you can enjoy rent-free vacations that can save you in excess of $28,000 -$100,000 in rental expense annually.

How does the luxury real estate investment fund model work?

Our investors make an upfront capital investment, and in return, they receive an equity interest in the fund’s portfolio of luxury vacation homes. The investment period is typically 10 years, and at the end of the term, the fund is liquidated, allowing investors to realize the full value of their investment and receive anticipated appreciation proceeds. Additionally, our investors enjoy the luxury of rent-free vacations in these upscale residences throughout the investment term, blending financial growth with lifestyle enrichment.

Do you offer a 1031 exchange into any of your funds?

We do not currently offer 1031 exchanges into our funds.

How does Equity Residences differ from Destination Clubs like Inspirato, Exclusive Resorts and other options in the industry?

Like Equity Residences, destination clubs offer their members exclusive access to vacation homes and hotels around the world. Unlike Equity Residences, their members pay fees to access the homes and have no equity in the homes and no potential fee offsets from rentals. Equity Residences funds provide luxury travel experiences, real estate ownership (and the potential appreciation that comes with equity), and the benefit of rental income to reduce or eliminate annual investor fees.

How does Equity Residences identify and acquire the best homes for investment?

We get this question all the time! The core principals are:

Understanding which locations and types of properties will deliver an exceptional vacation experience and provide a good rental yield. We typically aim for 6% to 10% cap rates in our vacation homes.
Determining which homes are more likely to appreciate and what, if any, remodeling will increase the value and rentability of your homes .
Having our investors tell us where they want homes added and then analyzing the markets to ascertain the best investment opportunities.
Buying with cash to obtain the best price and to move fast on the best deals.
