With many Australians becoming frustrated with the poor performance of industry and retail super funds many are now taking control of their superannuation investments to make sure that they are in the best financial position come retirement.

When creating a SMSF investment strategy there is a lot to consider. You need professional advisers to help setup the SMSF together with auditors and administrators to assist with ongoing compliance audits. We have a network of professionals who specialise in this area, so not only can we help you purchase the right “investment grade” property, we can also put you in contact with experts in this field if needed ensuring you have the correct strategy in place.

You can buy residential, commercial or industrial property via your SMSF. You are not allowed to buy your principal place of residence however in the SMSF however you can buy your own commercial premises and lease them back to your company.

Some of the benefits SMSF property investment:

  • Better control of your own investments1
  • Only 15% tax on the net rental income2
  • Some renovations are permissible3
  • We asses based on projected capital growth and rental return4
