24.01.2022 You can’t help good timing! It took over 3 years of research and careful planning to design ResiFund for Australians to be able to diversify across residential property assets. It was specifically with self-managed super funds (SMSF) in mind as we realised that a lot of SMSF operators were going all-in on one single residential asset. ... It turns out that the ATO had the same concerns that we did and, within 2 weeks of ResiFund launching, the tax regulator was letting trustees know that they’d prefer to see some diversification in SMSF portfolios. As of today, ResiFund is the only managed investment in Australia that allows SMSF investors to own a share of a diversified portfolio of income-focused residential assets. And that's something we're pretty proud to share!

24.01.2022 The latest data from August shows Australia's National Vacancy rate is 2.2% Great news for property investors!

24.01.2022 Original ResiFund investors have seen their investments grow by 13.5%, just since March 2019. We have achieved this through constructing and leasing properties, which have generated both capital growth and rental income, and without reliance on typical market house price growth. This is how we delivered a return of 9.40% over FY20, almost double that of ResiFund’s residential benchmark, which delivered 4.79% over the same period.... Investors can achieve these returns without having to take on a mortgage, thereby significantly expanding the number of investors who can invest in residential property.

24.01.2022 Our Founder and Director, Matt Lewison recently caught up with Finance News Network to talk all things ResiFund; where we invest and the dream we're hoping to achieve for all Australians!

24.01.2022 The very first property I owned had the same tenant for 7 years. It was a great outcome for me and great for the tenant. He only moved out when his life circumstances changed and he wanted to move. Surprisingly, while over a third of tenants end up staying in a property for longer than 24 months and around 1 in 8 tenants stay for less than 6 months, the majority of landlords only want to offer 12-month leases. ... We've seen a growing trend overseas for both shorter-term and longer-term leases, designed to suit the tenants' needs. If you can offer more flexibility when trying to secure a tenant then you will most likely get a better outcome for yourself too.

23.01.2022 Are you dreaming of a carefree retirement? Imagine reducing your debt and living off equity, maybe even transitioning to a carefree (work-free) life sooner than you thought. We're offering a FREE SMSF webinar with our co-founder and CEO, Matt Lewison, to show you the steps that some investors have taken to achieve true wealth and financial freedom to retire early and enjoy it!

18.01.2022 A little bit of everything property related from the ABC in this article so worth the quick read...

17.01.2022 Construction of our Birkdale property in Brisbane will be complete next month and should be leased to another five tenants early next year. Vacancies in Birkdale also remained low despite Covid, at 0.6% as at June 2020 (Source SQM).

17.01.2022 Many of you have asked - are we property developers? The short answer is no! We're about holding on to properties for long-term rent. If that occasionally means we have to build the right kind of property for our fund, we will. But we will hold on to these dwellings to create rental income for ResiFund's investors.... Matt explains more in this quick video:

17.01.2022 New research has found that Australians increasingly have their sight set on buying property, with one in four looking to purchase now. This is positive news: intention to buy is a leading indicator of housing demand and subsequently price growth.

17.01.2022 I was 25 years old and living in a share house with my best friends when I met my wife, Claire. Despite already owning a number of investment properties across Melbourne and Brisbane I had no intention of owning the place I lived in. The first place Claire and I lived together was an apartment just a few hundred metres from Brisbane's CBD and we had a great lifestyle surrounded by walking paths, restaurants and bars. Despite loving the place we lived in we continued to inve...st elsewhere, which always confused our friends. In fact, we waited another 5 years before buying our first family home. Had we not been prepared to rent where we wanted to live and invest elsewhere for the returns we would be miles behind where we are today. Don't feel like you need to conform to other's expectations: your financial future does not need to come at the expense of a great lifestyle if you make smart decisions.

16.01.2022 Very few people can save their way to financial freedom. But even fewer people achieve financial freedom without saving first. The reason is that savings alone will only ever give you a bucket of cash to draw from when your income dries up. Financial freedom comes from owning assets that go up in value or pay you an income. These assets grow your wealth... What steps are you taking to secure your own financial freedom? (Photo by John Arano on Unsplash)

14.01.2022 And 145 years later, it still rings true...

12.01.2022 Commitment. Hard work. Dedication. We believe luck is earned. Is it time you got luckier?

12.01.2022 When I was a teenager my dad taught me the value of investing. He said that if I wasn't prepared to give up something today then I would have no hope of a more prosperous tomorrow. Sadly, I meet so many people who never learned this lesson. ... They are the people telling their friends about the opportunities they passed up 5, 10 or 20 years ago. The painful truth is that many of them will be saying the same thing 5, 10 and 20 years from today. What they don't realise is that the best time to start planning for your future is today.

12.01.2022 A shortage of rental accommodation, multiple applications per property and rising rents are proof that Australia’s rental market is undersupplied, according to this RealEstate.com.au article. Propertyology's head of research, Simon Pressley, is quoted as saying: "The reality is that Australia does not have enough housing supply for its existing 25.6 million population." Propertyology is predicting that these next couple of years will produce the biggest increase in rents th...at Australia has seen in living memory," he says.

08.01.2022 When the GFC hit and earnings from most investments dropped, US fund managers noticed something strange happening. Rental income from their residential property portfolios was actually growing, not shrinking. In hindsight, it makes complete sense. When people are uncertain about their jobs, they choose not to buy new houses. This leaves more people on the rental market, reducing vacancy rates and putting upward pressure on rents.... As a result, many US investors brought more residential property after the GFC as they realised it was a reliable income stream through almost any economic climate. This AFR article talks about the lack of reliable income options for retirees in Australia. Despite the huge evidence here and offshore, no Super Fund in Australia offers exposure to the Aus rental market. That’s why so many people are excited about ResiFund which was designed to fill this gap.

05.01.2022 What makes us unique? We have a much longer-term view of the market than most investors. We do tonnes of research and pick suburbs before we pick properties. Sometimes the types of property we want to purchase in the suburb we want to be are not available, in which case we construct them. This adds value. ... At the end of the construction phase, we rent out these properties to ensure maximum revenue into the fund. It's through retaining the assets and rental income that we generate maximum value for our investors. Learn more about how ResiFund works in this video or see our blog:

05.01.2022 Who would have thought that when the world was going through a huge upheaval, Australians living abroad would want to return home? Amazing that it has taken this long for these statistics to be published. Our first reference to this trend was made on July 27, 2020, in our review of Josh Frydenberg's mid-year budget update (here's a link to the blog post in question https://www.opencorp.com.au/why-debt-isnt-a-dirty-word-for/) With the heartbreaking Covid-19 numbers that we a...re seeing overseas, it makes sense that Australians living overseas would want to return home where the death toll is low and our government has supported business and households financially. For the same reason, we think there will be growing demand for people wanting to move to Australia in the years ahead and very strong motivation for the government to encourage them to do so. Time will tell whether our prediction of higher 'Net Overseas Migration' for the decade beyond Covid comes to pass.

05.01.2022 Do you ever think about the pros and cons of owning 1 property versus 100 properties? We thought about it a lot and we're not the only ones. In fact, whole textbooks have been written on the benefits of diversifying. Unfortunately, due to the huge outlay required to buy a single residential property very few people ever get to own more than one. That means that only a small handful ever get the benefits of diversification through owning a portfolio of income-generating prope...rties. While it might have been tricky for you to spread your investment dollars across multiple properties in multiple areas in the past, with ResiFund it's now entirely possible.

05.01.2022 House ownership is out of reach for 'disenfranchised' millennials, according to a new report by CoreLogic Australia property analysts.

04.01.2022 Have you heard of tourists who go hiking and get lost? These common news stories lead to the inevitable question: why didn’t they take a map? The problem is, a map is only part of the solution to finding your way. Picture yourself in a dense forest. After hours of walking, you’re holding a map as night falls. You know where you want to go, and you would know how to get there, if you only knew where you were! At the start of the hike, you knew where you were going and where y...ou were. So, what went wrong: how did you get lost? Things went bad when you lost sight of the landmarks. Without these, you can’t track where you are on the map. Soon, you’re just guessing. So, it’s easy to get lost if you don’t have the means to track your location against your map. Sadly, that’s the quandary many Australians face with their finances. They’re lost in the forest. They (may) know where they want to go, but not where they are, so they can’t track their progress against a map. Worse, their map may be wrong. And many have no map at all. So what's the map equivalant when it comes to money? A budget. A budget is the tracking device you need to stay focused and reach your financial goals and avoid getting lost in the forest! So tell us, do you use a budget? Is it a part of your regular money management? Why or why not? (Photo by Atlas Green on Unsplash)

03.01.2022 ResiFund delivered a 9.4% return for the year ended June 2020, outperforming a range of different investments despite Covid.* This included outperforming the Australian Stock Market (ASX) by around 20%, as the ASX fell 10.4% over the same period. It was great to see our investment strategy be so resilient during these tough economic conditions and still produce great results for our investors. ... We know it gave many of our investors comfort, given the volatility across investment markets which was impacting their investments. *Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Australian Shares and Super funds have significantly different underlying investments and risk profiles compared to ResiFund but are common investment alternatives

Your investment gives you a share in the same properties that we are investing in and most importantly, we aim to invest in properties that are going to generate positive cash flow.

02.01.2022 We have now leased 100% of the studios in our new property in Noble Park Melb, which is an excellent result. It took less than three months to secure 9 tenants, despite Covid. This is testament to identifying suburbs like Noble Park, which are close to retail, hospitals, community facilities, transport and areas of employment, which are really important aspects for tenants deciding where they want to live.

01.01.2022 We hate when organisations try to play on buzzwords, like "Crowdfunding" to sound fresh and get your attention. Well, that's not what we are about! ResiFund is happy to be a little bit daggy because what we do isn't really new, we just do it in a whole new way. You see, property funds have been around for over 30 years in Australia (think Westfield) but ResiFund is the first managed fund to give Australian investors access to residential property.... Our CEO, Matt Lewison, explains the difference between ResiFund and crowdfunding in this video.

01.01.2022 Part of the reason we leased Noble Park, Melbourne, so quickly was that even during COVID, the suburb had a very low vacancy rate of around 1.3% (Source SQM). In stark contrast, the vacancy rate in the Melbourne CBD at the same time was 8.8%. This allowed us to rent the properties quickly and secure rents at close to what we had anticipated.... This is a great example of how investments like this can significantly outperform more traditional blue chip style suburbs or properties.

01.01.2022 If you haven't yet got the hang of what ResiFund is about, this video is for you! We buy and rent properties across Australia's major cities so when you invest in ResiFund, you're actually becoming a part-owner in ALL the properties in the portfolio. Which means you also get a share of the income and capital growth of these properties!... For more - check out this video.
