Rules & Regulations
The rules and regulations in borrowing using your SMSF are quite complex, so it is strongly suggested that you seek expert financial advice before making any move. An SMSF loan is a good option for those who have an SMSF already set up or planning to establish one and want to buy a property.
How does it work?
The first step should be the confirmation of your SMSF’s trustee that buying a property is consistent with the SMSF’s investment strategies. You also have to verify that the SMSF Trust Deed allows borrowing, after which you can get a pre-approval to buy. Next will be the selection of the property that you would like to purchase and then the formal application for an SMSF home loan.
