Liberty SMSF loans FAQs
An SMSF loan or Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) allows you to leverage the funds in your self-managed super fund (SMSF) to purchase an investment property. A growing number of Australians are taking control of their retirement planning and switching to SMSFs to help meet their property investment goals. Lenders such as Liberty offer SMSF home loan solutions and SMSF commercial property loans.
SMSF loans support SMSF trustees to borrow money to purchase an investment property they may not have the funds to buy outright through their SMSF. Ownership of the purchased property is then held in a custodian trust until the loan is repaid. At that point, the SMSF acquires the title. Throughout the life of the loan, the SMSF members have a beneficial interest in the property. Any income generated is reinvested into the SMSF to help repay the loan or increase the fund value.
The amount you can borrow with an SMSF loan will depend on your financial situation. You may need to maintain a minimum amount within your SMSF after the property purchase. This amount will vary depending on your individual circumstances.
It's important to consider that loans for SMSF borrowers can be a little more complicated than your standard mortgage or commercial property loan. While the right SMSF property loan could help you take control of your future, investing in property in this way can be a complex strategy. SMSF loans have strict requirements under Australian superannuation law and normally require the establishment of a separate trust to hold the property. Before you can apply for a loan, you’ll need to have an existing SMSF structure, or be in the process of establishing an SMSF. If you’re new to SMSF lending, a Liberty Adviser can help to simplify the process and answer any questions you may have along the way.
Some borrowers will have taken out an SMSF loan when interest rates were higher, or their financial situation was different. In these cases, it is worth exploring refinancing your SMSF loan to see if there are better options to suit your individual needs. As a specialist lender, Liberty has the capacity and freedom to make loans that traditional banks cannot accommodate – including SMSF loan refinances.
