What is SMSF?

SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) loans can help you invest in residential or commercial property if you don’t have the funds in your SMSF to buy an investment property outright.
The property is held in trust for the SMSF in a proper formal structure until the loan has been repaid.

These structures are arranged through accountants and solicitors with appropriate advice provided to explain the suitability. Once they have explained the pros and cons of investing
in this way, they may start the process which will enable you to apply for your SMSF loan.

SMSF loans are also known as Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs). This type
of loan is a limited recourse loan which means recovery of the debt is limited to the security
property and in the event of default, other super fund assets are not at risk.

We strongly recommend that if you are looking for someone to make you happy in the process, this is the right person. She never gives up until she brings a smile on your face. Thank you

Harmeet has been very helpful from the start to the finishing line. It was my first time experience as this is my first home. My instinct made me trust her from the beginning. She was very professional, loving and responsive in all her dealings with me. Harmeet offered me all available options. At-large the whole team were very helpful and they understands people's circumstances are different and they tailored their services to individual's circumstance. Big thank you to Simar Singh too my initial contact. Well done Harmeet.

There's not enough stars to give Harmeet and her team of superstars! Exceptional service, fabulous result! Harmeet provided a solution that enabled us to transition our home into an investment property (with our bank's proposal we needed to sell) and buy our new home without a bridging loan. All this within an impossibly tight timeline (at every turn we were told what we were attempting time wise couldn't be done). Harmeet worked tirelessly to get us across the line, and all with a fabulous smile! The long term benefits of keeping our other home will be reaped for years to come. Hugely happy and would highly recommend (though go early in the process not somewhere near the end like we did). Truly outstanding service. Thank you!

Self-Managed Super Funds FAQ’s

A: An SMSF loan is a home loan used by a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) to buy investment property. The returns on the investment – whether that’s rental income or capital gains – are funneled back into the super fund, increasing your retirement savings.
A: SMSF loans generally allow up to 80% leverage and 30-year terms, with up to five years of interest-only repayments. The minimum loan amount is $150,000 subject to lender approval of the property and borrowing capacity of the fund.
A: Your SMSF can purchase a retirement home either outright (if it has the funds) or by borrowing from a lender. If the fund needs to borrow, the loan must be a limited recourse loan. This means that if the property investment fails, the other assets in the SMSF are protected from creditors.

This means that your SMSF can purchase an investment property, which you’d eventually like to live in and rent it out until you retire.
