What this is

SMSF lending is niche. So we've gone deep on it.

Self-managed super funds can borrow to invest in property - but only through a very specific structure called a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA). Not every lender touches them. Fewer still do them well.

We work with the small group of lenders who understand LRBAs, along with your SMSF accountant and your bare trust deed provider, to get the structure right the first time. We don't give SMSF or tax advice - your accountant does that. We source the loan.

Lender options

A few of the lenders we’ve placed clients with recently.

We don’t quote rates on the website — they move weekly. We’ll give you real numbers at our first meeting.

A specialist SMSF lender

Residential LRBAs up to 80% LVR, standard terms, well-oiled process.

A commercial-focused bank

Better rates for commercial SMSF purchases, including the buy-your-business-premises scenario.

A non-bank

For trickier fund structures or borrowers, including older funds with unusual asset mixes.

We used our SMSF to buy the office our accounting practice leases. Richard ran it alongside our SMSF accountant and bare trust lawyer, and we settled on time.

FAQ

Questions clients ask us.

Can I borrow against any property inside my SMSF?+

Via an LRBA, yes - residential or commercial. Each property is typically held in its own bare trust.

What LVRs are available?+

Usually 60-80% LVR for residential, 60-70% for commercial, depending on the lender.

Can I live in the property?+

No - residential SMSF property can't be lived in or rented by you or related parties.

Can my business rent the SMSF's commercial property?+

Yes - a related business can rent a commercial property held in super, at market rent.

What if my SMSF is newly established?+

Most lenders want the fund to be trading with reasonable balances. Brand-new funds are possible but harder.

Do I need a lawyer and accountant for this?+

Yes - and we work with them. We don't give SMSF or tax advice ourselves.
