The problem

Your home may be valuable. But it doesn’t currently pay you an income.

Many Australians have spent decades building real wealth in their home. That wealth is genuine — but it sits still. It doesn’t add to your monthly income, and reaching it has usually meant selling up or moving on.

We don’t think your equity is “lazy” or that you’ve made a mistake. You built something valuable. Equivest is simply one way to let part of it do more for you.

The Equivest ecosystem

One platform connecting your home, investor capital and income property.

Here is the whole picture in five steps. Equivest doesn’t lend you the money — it coordinates the people and the parts so the arrangement is clear, independent and properly structured.

Three steps

How Equivest works

Two of these steps are entirely your choice. Investing the proceeds is separate and optional.

1Step one
Unlock part of your home’s value

An approved investor provides capital today in exchange for an agreed entitlement connected to part of your home’s future value. You continue living in the property under the agreed terms.

You keep 80%
20%
Your share of the home’s future value
2Step two
Choose how much to keep and invest

Retain part of the proceeds as accessible cash. Subject to independent advice, part may be invested into a separate income-producing property vehicle. You are never required to invest any of it.

$30k
$150k invested
From $180k released — you choose the split
3Step three
Receive your share of available income

The vehicle acquires new-build property selected for rental demand and sustainable cash flow. Available income is distributed in proportion to your investment — it can rise, fall or pause.

Over time

Your home, from day one to one day

This is a long-term arrangement, designed to sit quietly in the background. Here is what happens, and when.

1
Day one
Unlock & receive cash

You receive your capital and keep living in your home, still on the title.

2
The years ahead
Live in, and receive income

You stay in your home. If you invested, your share of available income is distributed.

3
Along the way
Adjust or buy back

You may be able to buy back the investor’s interest earlier, under your agreed terms.

4
One day
At sale or estate

When the home is sold, you or your estate keep ~80%; the investor receives their agreed share.

Two decisions

One ecosystem. Two separate decisions.

Unlocking equity and investing the proceeds are connected — but they are not the same choice. The second one is always yours to make, or not.

Cash reserve, not all-in
You’re encouraged to keep part of the proceeds as cash.

Your home and any income property are kept apart.
Downside & stress testing
Scenarios include weaker rents and softer markets.
Clear exit & estate steps
Sale, buyback, aged care and estate outcomes are defined.
Ongoing reporting
You can see where things stand, in plain language.
Income properties

Property selected for income, not hype

The income side focuses on new-build residential property chosen for steady, sustainable cash flow — not speculation on rising prices.

Common questions

Questions homeowners ask first

Plain answers to the things that matter most. If yours isn’t here, our Australian-based team is happy to talk it through.

Do I have to sell or leave my home? +

No. You continue living in your home under agreed terms. Selling or moving is not required.

Is this a normal home loan? +

No. It is not a loan, a line of credit or a reverse mortgage. You do not take on monthly home-equity repayments — instead, an investor receives an agreed share of your home’s future value.

Who provides the capital? +

An approved investor, or investors, provides the capital. Equivest coordinates the arrangement rather than lending from its own balance sheet.

What does the investor receive? +

An agreed entitlement linked to part of your home’s future value, realised under the agreed exit terms — for example, when the home is eventually sold.

Do I have to invest all the money? +

No. You choose how much to keep as accessible cash and how much, if any, to invest.

Is investing the released capital mandatory? +

No. Investing the proceeds is a separate, optional decision, made only with independent advice.

Is the income guaranteed? +

No. Any income depends on the performance of the income property and can rise, fall or temporarily stop.

What happens if the income property underperforms? +

Distributions may reduce or pause. Operating reserves and conservative debt are designed to help absorb weaker periods, but returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.

What happens when my home is eventually sold? +

The investor receives their agreed percentage of the home’s value at that time, and you, or your estate, keep the rest.

Can I buy back the investor’s interest? +

In many cases, yes. Buyback terms are set out in your agreement so you understand them before you start.

What happens if I move into aged care? +

Your agreement sets out what happens if you move into aged care, including how and when the arrangement may be settled.

What happens after the homeowner dies? +

The arrangement is settled according to the agreed terms, typically when the home is sold, with the remainder passing to your estate.

Could this affect the Age Pension? +

It may. Releasing equity and holding investments can affect means-tested entitlements, which is why independent financial advice is part of the process.

What fees does Equivest charge? +

Fees are disclosed in full before you decide, with no hidden charges. You will see how they apply to your specific arrangement.

What independent advice will I receive? +

You obtain independent legal advice, and separate financial advice for any investment decision, before anything is finalised.
