Targeting capital growth from quality family homes

House prices have doubled roughly every 10 years for many decades in Melbourne and Sydney, so If you’ve purchased a good family home you’ve probably built wealth. Our fund aims to deliver results by doing what many Australian’s have done for themselves, but at scale, and without the costs, taxes, and hassles of being a landlord.

How the Homes Investment Fund works

Group 306

Accessible investment to quality family homes

With a starting investment of $100K, investors are able to access a diversified portfolio of established quality family homes, without the high initial capital that would traditionally be required.

Group 307

Invest without the costs of being a landlord

The fund co-invests along side homebuyers and homeowners in return for a share in the future capital growth of the property through a shared equity agreement. This process allows the fund to benefit from the capital growth of the property without contributing to mortgage, maintenance costs or land tax.

Group 308

RODWELLS approach

We only invest in Robust Older Dwellings on Well-Located Land (RODWELLs), where our data analysis shows land value drives capital growth above the house price index. This strategic emphasis aligns our portfolio with the most reliable drivers of property value growth.

Group 309

Intelligent Asset Selection

Through intelligent asset selection, we utilise advanced data analytics and the deep market knowledge of our in-house buyers’ advocates to identify RODWELLs. This method ensures we target properties that exhibit potential for long-term capital appreciation.

Leveraging Shared Equity, without landlord expenses

We are able to invest in Family Homes without covering property expenses through our shared equity products Buying Boost and HomeFlex.

This mutually beneficial agreement allows us to enjoy the benefit of the property's price appreciation without the usual costs of being a landlord.

Shared equity removes the traditional costs of property investment:

Group 383No Stamp Duty

Group 383No Land Tax

Group 383No Maintenance

Group 383No Mortgage

Driving Social Good

We believe home ownership should not become an inherited privilege. That is why LongView co-invests with some home buyers who don’t have family support for their deposit. The Fund also assists some home owners who are at risk of losing their home without access to additional equity capital.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are the target returns?

House prices have doubled (source) roughly every 10 years for many decades in Melbourne and Sydney.  

The Fund: 

  •  invests in properties that are expected by the Manager to have better than average capital growth,  
  • co-invests in these properties alongside homeowners allowing it to benefit from the advantages owner occupiers enjoy that direct property investors do not  
  •  consequently we project the Fund’s returns will be higher than the property market index – which has grown 7%pa on average.
How do I access my investment? When you have a traditional direct investment in property, you can only access capital growth when you sell. Through the Fund, your money is invested for 10 years with quarterly returns to investors forecast after the first 2 years. Our modeling suggests that cash paid by the Fund from year 3 onwards will be about 15% of the original investment then rising every year to year 10. 
What type of houses do we buy and how do we choose them? Our focus is capital growth, so we have professional buyer’s advocates backed by data science selecting properties that, in our opinion, are most likely to get above average capital growth across Melbourne, Sydney and Southeast Queensland. We only buy what we believe are good family homes in the $800k-3m price range in good locations. We won’t buy any high-rise apartments or off-the-plan properties.
Who can invest in the Fund? The Fund is only open to investment by “Wholesale Investors” (as defined in the Corporations Act) - your accountant can tell you if you are eligible. In essence, to qualify as a wholesale client, an investor must: a) Have net assets of at least $2.5 million including your family home; or b) Have a gross income for each of the past 2 financial years of at least $250,000.
Does the Fund make money from homebuyers and homeowners? The Fund is designed to make money with homebuyers or homeowners by co-investing with them as part of the deposit or equity in exchange for a share of their capital growth when they sell or buy the Fund out. The Fund only makes money when homebuyers and homeowners make money. It gives Australians who don’t have the “Bank of Mum and Dad” the opportunity to buy a better home, sooner.
