SMSF Loans
Getting an SMSF loan in Sydney
SMSF loans are a specialized type of financing used by Self Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) in Australia for property investments, whether residential or commercial.
These funds are private superannuation funds managed by their members, who usually act as trustees. If you are a member of an established SMSF, you can borrow money from lenders to facilitate the purchase of investment properties, which are held in a trust until the loan is fully repaid.
To qualify for such a loan, below are the criteria that must be met:
- All trustees of the SMSF must agree to the loan.
- The SMSF must be compliant with all Australian Taxation Office regulations and laws governing super funds.
- The investment must meet the ‘sole purpose test’ of superannuation, meaning it must be maintained for the sole purpose of providing retirement benefits to the fund’s members.
- The SMSF should have sufficient balance and liquidity to cover loan repayments, as well as other fund expenses and investment obligations.
If you’re looking to purchase an investment property using your SMSF, we can help you get the funding you need. Speak with our expert brokers today!
How can you benefit from self-managed super fund loans?
Leverage
An SMSF loan allows you to use a smaller amount of your fund's money to make a larger investment in property, potentially increasing your returns.
Tax Benefits
The income from the property, like rent, is taxed at a lower rate within the SMSF. Also, if you sell the property after retirement, you might not have to pay capital gains tax.
Asset Protection
If your SMSF can't pay back the loan, the lender can only claim the property purchased with the loan, not the other assets in your SMSF.
