Invest a property with your self-managed super fund
One of the finest methods to manage your retirement is through self-managed super funds (SMSFs). Individuals own and run these funds giving them a significant deal of influence over their assets and destiny. This kind of investment has many benefits, but it also has a substantial amount of obligations.

There are a few considerations you should make before utilising your self-managed super funds to buy an investment property.
First, you must confirm that the property you are purchasing is legitimately permitted for inclusion in a super fund. For instance, the property cannot be your primary residence and must be used for commercial purposes.
Secondly, you'll need to make sure that the property is funded correctly. This means that you'll need to have enough money in your super fund to cover both the purchase price of the property and any associated costs (e.g. stamp duty, legal fees, etc.).
Finally, it's important to remember that you'll need to comply with a number of regulations when buying an investment property with your SMSF. For example, you'll need to make sure that the property is managed by a licensed real estate agent, and that you have a written agreement in place between yourself and the other trustees of your super fund.
Thus, if you're considering of utilising your self-managed super fund to buy an investment property, make sure you do your research and understand the restrictions and regulations involved. Speak with a UFS SMSF specialist for additional details.
Investing in property is a great way to diversify your fund’s investments and get exposure within the Australian real estate market, but it can be tricky when you invest with your SMSF. Make sure that any lending strategy works well alongside your investment plans without getting caught up by government legislation or tax implications! Our SMSF Loan Experts will help guide you through every step of this process so all aspects are considered properly from start to finish
How much can I borrow?
Residential Investment Property
There are various tax advantages to buying a home with a superannuation fund. One of them if that the home cannot be utilised as the owner's or a relative's primary residence; it must be for investment purposes only. Furthermore, the property cannot be sold to the superannuation fund if you already own it and must be in decent condition.
Commercial Investment Property
You can use cash or shares in your superannuation as a security deposit to buy and finance a commercial investment property. It's crucial to keep in mind that the commercial property you buy through your self-managed super fund (SMSF) must be leased to a connected party and also the property must be in an acceptable state of repair.
Other Properties
There are certain types of properties that are not accepted by lenders. These include vacant residential land, anything requiring progress payments (e.g. Construction finance), and properties that are in unreasonable condition. This is not just a lender rule, but also superannuation legislation that governs SMSFs.
