Investing in a self-managed super fund property has become an increasingly popular strategy in Australia, offering SMSF members greater control and flexibility over their retirement savings. With the ability to invest retirement funds directly in real estate, many SMSF trustees are considering using their fund to purchase residential or commercial self managed super fund property.
But while property investment through an SMSF can be a lucrative strategy for some, there are a range of compliance requirements and regulations involved that you need to understand before deciding if this is the right investment approach for your fund.
As with any major financial decision, educating yourself on the positives and potential drawbacks is crucial.
So here’s what you need to know about how self managed super fund property investment works and what’s involved if you want to use your SMSF to purchase real estate.
Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) are a type of Australian superannuation fund managed by its members rather than a professional fund manager.
SMSFs give members greater control and flexibility over their retirement savings, allowing them to make their own investment decisions, including what they want to invest in and how much risk they’re willing to take on.
Beyond the versatility of this investment structure, they’re particularly popular amongst investors within higher tax brackets, as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) only taxes SMSF income at a rate of 15%.
For this strategy to work, you must comply with extensive regulations, as these investments have a direct connection to your retirement fund.
