FAQ

01

What are the most popular residences in the Equity Residences portfolio?

Several standout destinations consistently rise to the top among Equity Residences partners, each offering a distinct blend of luxury, exclusivity, and year-round appeal.

Lake Tahoe remains a clear favorite year after year. Our Northstar residence benefits from strong demand and ongoing development in the area, making it both a high-quality asset and a highly desirable mountain destination. It’s a place both investors and partners return to again and again.

In Europe, Barcelona and Siena offer exceptional and differentiated experiences. Our six-bedroom luxury condo in Barcelona is a rare find – there are simply very few residences like it – making it a unique highlight within the portfolio. Meanwhile, Siena provides a compelling alternative to the typical seasonal European market. Both destinations enjoy strong, urban-style occupancy rates—often exceeding 80% annually—demonstrating their value well beyond the peak summer months.

Finally, Thompson Cove in Turks and Caicos stands out as a true trophy asset. This oceanfront property has been meticulously renovated with over $1 million invested to ensure no detail was overlooked. It represents the pinnacle of the Equity Residences experience, offering partners an unparalleled luxury stay in one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after locations.

Together, these residences reflect the diversity and quality that define the Equity Residences portfolio.

02

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

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

  1. 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.
  2. Determining which homes are more likely to appreciate and what, if any, remodeling will increase the value and rentability of your homes .
  3. Having our investors tell us where they want homes added and then analyzing the markets to ascertain the best investment opportunities.
  4. Buying with cash to obtain the best price and to move fast on the best deals.

03

Why are the Fund homes rented to non-investors?

  • Rental income from high-net-worth guests helps offset annual operating expenses. allowing us to offer the lowest annual operating fee of any comparable fund.
  • Any rental income in excess of property and fund operating costs allows us to distribute cash dividends.
  • Renters are high-net worth individuals who are pre-qualified to become Fund investors.
04

How much do I get to use the fund homes?

  • Investors can reserve one to three weeks of vacation per year during our Reservation Periods – depending on the destination, home value, and season.
  • Additional vacations are available on a short-notice basis.
  • Additional long-lead-time vacations are available with additional investment.
  • There are no blackout dates.
05

How can Equity Residences investors book THIRDHOME vacations?

You can convert your Equity Residences credits into THIRDHOME keys and book your trips directly on the THIRDHOME website.

06

How long does it take for THIRDHOME keys to transfer to the network after the initial request?

A THIRDHOME credit transfer is typically completed within one business day, meaning the process is speedy and hassle-free.

07

Are Equity Residences investors equivalent to other members of THIRDHOME and Elite Alliance?

As members of these prestigious networks, our owners have access to a wide range of luxury vacation homes around the world. They have the same privileges as other members when it comes to scheduling vacations. This is a great bonus for our owners as they can take advantage of a vast portfolio of domestic and international luxury vacation homes available for their trips.

08

For more details, we can put you in touch with an Elite Alliance representative, or you can watch our joint webinar VIDEO with Elite Alliance.

09

How does Equity Residences maintain its portfolio of homes to make sure homes are ready for investors and are ready for liquidation when the time comes?

Equity Residences maintains its portfolio through a highly hands-on, full-time asset management approach. A dedicated in-house team regularly visits and inspects each residence using a detailed 180-point checklist, ensuring every home meets strict quality standards. We invest heavily in this process, continuously expanding and developing our team as the portfolio grows. Given the complexity and uniqueness of luxury homes, success depends on skilled, detail-oriented professionals who can manage maintenance across different locations, systems, and cultural contexts—ensuring homes are always investor-ready and positioned for eventual liquidation. 

The team also has preventative maintenance in place, for example, servicing air conditioners regularly. 

10

Does Equity Residences invest in capital improvement projects like solar energy? Can you share an example?

Yes, we actively pursue capital projects where they make strong financial and operational sense—solar is a strong example. We recently invested in a solar installation at one of our homes in Los Cabos, where electricity costs from the local utility (CFE) have increased more than 100% over the past decade.

Because this is a large, high-occupancy residence with significant energy usage, it was an ideal candidate. The solar investment is expected to reduce electricity costs by approximately 60–70% annually, delivering meaningful savings directly to the bottom line.

Beyond the operational savings, solar also enhances the investment’s long-term value. It serves as a compelling feature for future buyers, making the home more attractive at the time of liquidation and providing an additional layer of return for investors.

11

How does Equity Residences bring a home up to the standard investors expect after acquisition?

Equity Residences takes a highly strategic, design-forward approach to upgrading each home, focusing on both differentiation and functionality. In markets like Big Sky—where many homes look similar—the goal is to stand out by enhancing finishes, furnishings, and overall guest experience. This includes partnering with premium suppliers to source high-quality, hospitality-grade furniture at favorable pricing and ensuring timely installation.

Upgrades are targeted to the most impactful areas of the home, such as main living spaces, dining areas, and primary bedrooms.

Similarly, in destinations like Turks and Caicos, the focus is on aligning the home with luxury hospitality standards while maximizing appeal for both usage and resale. Across all portfolio homes, the objective is consistent: create a differentiated, high-quality experience that meets investor expectations, enhances rental performance, and positions the home competitively for future liquidation.
