SMSF Loan.

Looking to invest in property through a self-managed super fund (SMSF)? Investing through an SMSF is a smart choice to enable greater flexibility and control over retirement savings and maximise returns. The best part? An SMSF property loan can help you start your portfolio and achieve your financial goals sooner.

Creating smart investments with  SMSF property loans.

When done correctly, using your super to invest in residential or commercial property gives you access to some impressive tax benefits and concessions. When there aren’t sufficient funds in an SMSF to purchase an investment property outright, an SMSF loan can help.

An SMSF loan, or an SMSF investment loan, is a type of home loan used by an SMSF to purchase an investment property. Returns on the investment, such as capital gains and rental income, are directed back into the SMSF, effectively increasing the retirement savings of its members.

Frequently Asked Questions.

A form of home loan, an SMSF loan can be used to purchase an investment property through an SMSF when there is insufficient capital in the fund to do so outright. The fund members control the mortgage, and all monies made by the investment are funnelled back into the fund.

Generally speaking, SMSFs allow you to invest in a broader range of assets than external super funds. Along with residential and commercial property — which is becoming an increasingly favoured SMSF investment choice — investment options include term deposits, Australian and international shares, physical commodities, certain collectables, and fixed income products such as government and corporate bonds.

For a residential SMSF property investment, you will usually need a deposit of 20% to 25% of the property’s value. You’ll need at least a 30% deposit for commercial SMSF property investments. Both property types will also require an additional 5% of the property value to cover purchase completion costs such as legal expenses, mortgage transfer fees and stamp duty.

Yes — this is what is known as SMSF property investment. Investing in property through your super is a great way to boost your returns and gain a greater level of flexibility and control over your retirement savings. And, an SMSF property loan may even help you get your property investment sooner!

There are a few key differences between SMSF loans and regular home loans. The main difference is the structure of the Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) for SMSF loans. This structure effectively means that the lender can only claim the asset associated with the loan if the fund defaults.
