Frequently Asked Questions

Can an SMSF borrow to buy property?

SMSFs can borrow in limited circumstances, commonly through a limited recourse borrowing arrangement. Whether this is suitable or compliant for you needs advice from the right professionals.

What is an LRBA?

A limited recourse borrowing arrangement is a specific borrowing structure used by SMSFs in certain circumstances. The lender’s rights are generally limited to the asset being purchased, but the legal and lending requirements are detailed.

Can I live in a property owned by my SMSF?

Generally, residential property owned by an SMSF cannot be lived in by fund members or related parties. Always confirm the rules with your SMSF adviser before proceeding.

Can my SMSF buy commercial property?

Commercial property may be possible, but the rules, lease arrangements, lender requirements and advice needs are different. It should be checked carefully with your SMSF professionals.

Do I need an accountant or financial adviser?

Yes, you should have appropriate SMSF, tax and/or financial advice. We can help with lending, but we do not replace your accountant, adviser or solicitor.

What documents are usually needed for an SMSF loan?

Requirements vary, but lenders often ask for SMSF trust documents, financials, member details, contribution information, property details, contract documents and legal structure documents.

Are SMSF loans the same as standard investment loans?

No. SMSF loans can have different lender options, deposit requirements, documents, legal structures and assessment rules.

Can you help if my SMSF is not set up yet?

We can explain the lending side at a high level, but the SMSF setup and strategy need to be handled by qualified professionals.

How long does an SMSF loan take?

SMSF lending can take longer than a standard loan because more parties, documents and checks are involved. Starting early helps.

Is this personal financial advice?

No. We provide general lending information and assistance with the loan process. Advice about whether an SMSF or property strategy is suitable for you should come from appropriately qualified financial, tax and legal professionals.
