How often do you take vacations?
When you go on vacation, how much money do you spend on vacation accommodations? Is it $10,000+ a year?
We have a solution for you:
We created a real estate investment fund for accredited investors who don't want to lose $10,000+ a year or more on booking vacation accommodations, but want to invest the money instead.
What makes us unique?
Our investment focus is reflected in portfolio appreciation over the life of the fund and annual dividends (both usage and cash).
Your return on the investment is vacation time with your friends and family and annual real estate portfolio appreciation.
Who are our investors?
We have over 200 investors in our funds including investors from across the US, Canada, China, Mexico and other countries. US based investors must be accredited.
Our investors typically spend $10,000+ or more a year on luxury vacation accommodations before they join Equity Residences
How it works:
1. You invest in a diversified portfolio of luxury vacation real estate and use the homes to vacation with family and friends
2. In 10 years, we liquidate the portfolio and return your original investment + 80% of appreciation to you
3. During your investment, you vacation rent-free at luxury residences around the world
4. We keep fees low through using rental income to offset operating expenses
