The Intuthuko Equity Fund supports previously disadvantaged individuals who have never owned investment property before by contributing to the deposit or equity requirements necessary for a loan approval. TUHF does not provide 100% finance. The fund still requires interested entrepreneurs to contributeoftheir own earnest money towards the transaction. The fund is aimed at caretakers, property managers, artisans in the construction industry, police,fire men and women, and nurses as well as other individuals who live or work in the inner city. This equity fund is subject to senior debt finance from TUHF Limited for the purchase of inner city residential rental property.
