Looking to buy an investment using a self managed super fund?

Using a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) for real estate investment is quite common and for good reason. Investing in property is relatively low risk compared to other investment options. Property investment can provide you with a plethora of benefits such as reduced capital gains tax, negative gearing, and increased purchasing power.

An SMSF loan lets you use your SMSF to buy an investment property through a loan. Your superannuation contributions will go towards paying for the investment property loan. With an SMSF, the expenses for the property investment will be paid for by the fund. No need for any out-of-pocket expenses.

Since you’ll be tapping into your SMSF, you won’t have immediate access to any rental income or capital gains. The profit you get from properties you buy through an SMSF loan can be reinvested or accessed only when you retire.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, loans.com.au can help you with all your SMSF home loan needs, including both the purchase of a new property, and the refinance of your existing SMSF loan.

A Self-Managed Super Fund is a private superannuation fund that allows you to manage your own superannuation investments for your retirement. Not everyone can set up their own super, so understanding the basics is crucial before getting started. We always suggest you speak to your accountant or financial advisor for any questions on setting up your SMSF.

We accept both residential and commercial investment properties.

You’ll have a phone appointment with one of our lending specialists to organise pre-approval of your loan. Check the onTrack app to receive your final approval, mortgage documents and loan agreement. You must sign these and return them in to onTrack, which authorises us to deal directly with your existing lender. From this point, you no longer need to pay your previous lender. We pay the loan out by estimating payout costs based on current balance, rate and repayments. Your loan will settle and you'll enjoy new low rates!

There are some restrictions when it comes to any property bought with a SMSF loan, namely that you can't construct a new home, nor can you live in the home at any stage until you reach retirement. We recommend for any questions on this you speak to your accountant or financial advisor.

Some documents you’ll need to refinance include:

  • Your recent Super Fund Statement/s evidencing contributions, cash, investments, rental
  • Evidence of rental income
  • Previous independent legal advice
  • 6 months statement of the loan being refinanced
  • Certified copies of SMSF Trust Deed and Property Trust Deed


For a full list of documents required, apply now or chat to one of our lending specialists on Live Chat or 1300 567 529.

You can get your dream home at a great low home loan rate because of our online model. We don't have to pay for branches or broker commissions, which means we are able to pass our savings directly on to you through low home loan rates and and no ongoing, annual or monthly fees.

At loans.com.au, the only fee you’ll pay to refinance is a one-off security assessment fee, which for a standard property in a metropolitan area in a major city starts at $230 for properties valued up to $1 million. If you are making a purchase, there will also be a $490 legal fee applicable.

Many other lenders may charge an application fee, exit fees, annual fees, and discharge fees, so it’s important to do your research before making your decision.
