Self Managed Super Funds Buying property

Can I buy a property through my self managed super fund (SMSF)?

Yes you can, although there are a variety of restrictions and considerations before buying property through a self managed super fund.

Self Managed Super Funds Buying property

Self managed super funds buying property guidelines do change and we would advise that you speak with one of our self managed super fund specialist  financial planners to ensure  you have the most up to date information.  Since the changes to the Superannuation and Industry Supervision (SIS) Act in September 2007 you can now borrow to invest in worthwhile assets which include real estate.

Self Managed Super Funds Buying Property

If you own a commercial property personally, irrespective of whether you or someone else operates a business out of those premises, this property could be transferred into your family superannuation fund.  Ordinarily, a family superannuation fund can not acquire residential property from the members.   However, if you have a large portfolio of residential property that is operated in a business manner, then it is possible for the portfolio to be transferred in to a family superannuation fund.  Call our team and see if you can have your self managed super funds buying property.
