The podcast was with Chris Titley and Evan Thornley, the co-founder and CEO of Longview. Evan discusses his background in the Australian technology industry, including founding one of the first Australian tech companies listed on NASDAQ. He then explains the motivation behind starting Longview, which aims to address issues in the Australian residential property market such as housing affordability, rental instability, and poor investment returns for landlords. Longview's solution is to create a housing fund industry in Australia, similar to those in other countries, where investors can invest in residential property through funds rather than directly owning individual properties. Evan describes Longview's first fund, a shared equity fund where the company co-invests with homeowners and homebuyers, providing equity in exchange for a share of future capital growth. He outlines the investment strategy of targeting 'RODWELLS' (Robust, Older Dwellings on Well-located Land) to capitalise on the long-term appreciation of well-located suburban land. Evan envisions Longview pioneering a vibrant housing fund industry in Australia within the next decade, offering diversified investment opportunities and solutions for housing affordability and rental stability.
