Equity Platinum Fund

Equity Residences is a pioneering luxury real estate private equity fund, tailored for accredited investors seeking a low-risk entry into luxury vacation home ownership. We specialize in offering portfolio ownership opportunities of upscale vacation residences worldwide, with a strong focus on a debt-free approach and a defined asset liquidation timeline. Over 90% of our raised capital is invested directly into select vacation homes, providing investors a diversified real estate portfolio and a hassle-free alternative to direct home ownership. Our model guarantees access to top-tier, professionally managed second homes, enhancing your investment portfolio with minimal direct ownership responsibilities and rent-free vacations.

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.

No. We buy all of our residences with cash operate with no debt. You can read more about our investment philosophy here.

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.

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.
