How SMSF Property Lending WorksWhen a Self-Managed Super Fund borrows to buy property, it’s typically done through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA). Under an LRBA, the property is held in a separate holding trust until the loan is repaid, and the lender’s recourse is limited to that single asset rather than the other assets in your fund. This structure has specific legal and accounting requirements, which is why setting it up correctly from the start matters.

What Lenders Typically Look AtSMSF loans are assessed differently to standard home loans. Lenders generally consider your fund’s balance and liquidity, the rental income the property is expected to generate, the contributions flowing into your fund, and whether the fund can comfortably meet repayments and ongoing costs. Many lenders also expect the fund to retain a liquidity buffer after settlement. We can help you understand how these factors apply to your situation and which lenders on our panel of over 40 are active in SMSF lending.

Costs and Considerations to Plan ForBorrowing through an SMSF involves costs beyond the loan itself — including establishment of the holding trust, legal and accounting fees, ongoing fund administration, and lender setup charges. Because SMSF borrowing sits within superannuation and tax law, the rules can be complex and the right approach depends on your fund’s circumstances and your retirement goals. We strongly recommend seeking independent legal, financial and tax advice before establishing an arrangement, as SB Finance does not provide personal financial or taxation advice.
