Why Invest in Property Through Your SMSF?
- Capital Growth for Retirement
Property has the potential to increase in value over time, strengthening your SMSF balance and supporting a more comfortable retirement. - Regular Rental Income
Rental income from tenants flows directly into your SMSF, creating a steady income stream to grow your super. - Higher Yields with Commercial Property
Commercial properties often offer higher returns and longer lease terms, providing greater cash flow stability. - Diversification of Your Portfolio
Adding property to your SMSF can balance other investments such as shares, term deposits, and managed funds. - Leverage Opportunities
Through an LRBA structure, your SMSF can borrow to invest in property without using all available capital upfront. We have access to lenders offering loans of up to 80% of the property value (subject to approval). - Potential Tax Advantages
Rental income and capital gains are generally taxed at a concessional rate of 15% during accumulation phase and may be tax-free in pension phase (subject to eligibility and current legislation). - Greater Investment Control
You choose the property type, location, and overall investment strategy in line with your SMSF investment plan. - Long-Term Retirement Security
Property can provide both growth and income, supporting sustainable retirement planning.
