Invest in residential property through your SMSF.
Self-managed super funds can be powerful investment vehicles — and purchasing residential property is one of the most popular strategies. Get Home Loan specialises in SMSF lending and navigates the regulatory complexity so you can invest with confidence.
SMSF Residential Property Investment
Using your SMSF to purchase a residential investment property can be an effective long-term wealth-building strategy. Rental income flows into the fund, and if the property is held until retirement, the capital gain may be tax-free in pension phase. However, SMSF lending is highly regulated and structuring must be done correctly.
At Get Home Loan, our brokers understand the specific requirements of SMSF loans — including Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs), bare trusts, and lender compliance requirements. We work closely with your SMSF administrator and accountant to ensure your structure is correct from day one.
SMSF Residential Lending Requirements
- Minimum fund balance — generally $200,000+ recommended
- Bare trust structure must be correctly established
- Property must be investment — you cannot live in it
- Arm's length transactions — cannot purchase from a related party
- LRBA compliance — loan must meet ATO safe harbour guidelines
- Must be a single acquirable asset
