SMSF Investment Loans

Using your super to invest in property can be a powerful way to build long term wealth. SMSF investment loans allow you to purchase property through a Self Managed Super Fund, with a structured lending approach that meets strict compliance requirements. At Finance Industries Australia, we help you navigate the process and access lending options suited to your SMSF strategy.

Access to 70 + Lenders

We compare a wide range of lenders, including major banks and specialist business lenders.

Tailored Lending Strategies

We structure finance based on your business cash flow, growth plans and risk profile.

Ongoing support

We stay connected beyond settlement, reviewing your lending as your business evolves.

Structure Matters from the Start

SMSF lending is highly regulated and requires the correct setup before applying for finance. Loans are typically structured through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement, where the lender’s rights are limited to the asset being purchased.

We assist with:

  • Residential SMSF property investment
  • Commercial property purchases through your SMSF
  • Refinancing existing SMSF loans
  • Structuring loans in line with lender and compliance requirements

Getting the structure right early helps avoid delays and ensures your loan progresses smoothly.

How do SMSF Investment Loans Work?

SMSF loans differ from standard lending and involve:

  • Lending through a separate trustee structure
  • Higher deposit requirements compared to standard loans
  • Assessment based on rental income and SMSF contributions
  • Restrictions on how the property can be used

For commercial property, your SMSF may lease the property to your own business, subject to compliance with superannuation rules.

Who can get an SMSF loan?

SMSF investment loans may suit borrowers who:

  • Have an established SMSF with sufficient balance
  • Are seeking to diversify their superannuation investments
  • Want to invest in residential or commercial property through super
  • Have appropriate accounting and legal support in place

It is important to consider your broader financial position and long term retirement strategy before proceeding.

How We Help You Grow Your SMSF Property Portfolio

At Finance Industries Australia, we work alongside your accountant and adviser to help align your lending structure with your SMSF strategy.

We assist with:

  • Comparing SMSF loan options across lenders
  • Guiding you through lender requirements and documentation
  • Structuring loans to suit your SMSF and investment goals
  • Managing the application and approval process
  • Supporting you through to settlement

We focus on making a complex process more manageable and transparent.

Why Use a Broker for SMSF Lending?

SMSF loans are a niche area with fewer lenders and more detailed requirements. Working with a broker helps you access lenders that actively support SMSF borrowing and understand how to structure these loans correctly.

Benefits include:

  • Access to SMSF focused lenders
  • Support navigating complex structures
  • Coordination with your accountant and legal team
  • A smoother application process from start to finish
