SMSF Loans: Unlock Property Investment Potential in Your Super
At Deals4Loans, we understand that diversifying your self-managed super fund (SMSF) investments can be a powerful strategy for building your retirement wealth. Our SMSF Loan service is designed to help you navigate the complexities of borrowing to invest in property through your SMSF, ensuring compliance while maximizing your investment potential.
What are SMSF Loans?
SMSF Loans, also known as Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs), allow your self-managed super fund to borrow money to purchase an investment property. This strategy can potentially boost your fund’s returns and provide tax advantages, but it requires careful planning and execution to comply with superannuation laws.

Freequently Asked Question
Can my SMSF borrow to purchase any type of property?
Generally, SMSFs can borrow to purchase residential or commercial property. However, the property must meet the ‘sole purpose test’ and comply with superannuation regulations. For example, residential property cannot be lived in or rented by fund members or their relatives.
How much can my SMSF borrow?
The borrowing capacity depends on various factors including the fund’s assets, member contributions, rental income from the property, and the lender’s criteria. Typically, SMSFs can borrow up to 70-80% of the property value.
Are SMSF loans more expensive than regular home loans?
SMSF loans often have slightly higher interest rates and fees due to their specialized nature and additional compliance requirements. However, we work hard to secure competitive rates for our clients.
Can my SMSF refinance an existing LRBA?
Yes, it’s possible to refinance an existing SMSF loan. This might be done to secure a better interest rate or to access equity for approved purposes. We can assist in assessing whether refinancing would be beneficial for your SMSF.
