Essential compliance requirements to keep your SMSF property investment on track
You can't live in or rent your SMSF property to related parties including family members.
You can fix damage but can't rebuild, renovate, or subdivide using loan funds.
Keep enough cash reserves to meet ongoing fund expenses, loan repayments, and obligations.
Must use a bare trust (holding trust) structure for the property title and ownership.
Most lenders ask for roughly a 20% deposit plus costs. Here’s what that looks like:
| Property | 20% Deposit | Est. Costs | Total Fund Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| $400,000 | $80,000 | $17,000 | $97,000 |
| $500,000 | $100,000 | $22,000 | $122,000 |
| $600,000 | $120,000 | $27,000 | $147,000 |
| $700,000 | $140,000 | $32,000 | $172,000 |
| $800,000 | $160,000 | $37,000 | $197,000 |
| $1,000,000 | $200,000 | $47,000 | $247,000 |
Your fund should also maintain a cash buffer of at least 5–10% for costs, insurance, and contributions.

Note: Based on aggregated client results — figures illustrative only.
An SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) home loan allows you to use your superannuation savings to invest in residential or commercial property. The property is held within the SMSF as part of your retirement strategy.
No. Properties bought with an SMSF loan must be strictly for investment purposes. You, your family, or related parties cannot live in or rent the property.
An SMSF can purchase residential investment properties and commercial properties, provided the investment complies with the ATO’s rules and benefits your retirement strategy.
We have expertise in SMSF lending, access to multiple lenders, and can guide you through the complex rules to ensure your investment strategy is compliant and financially sound.
Sometimes, this depends on the lender's policy.
Typically 3–5 weeks, including the bare trust setup.
