Can I use my super to invest in property?

The Holistic Accountant

This week Stuart & Mena discuss the key factors that people must consider when contemplating investing their super in direct residential or commercial property. Including:

• Why you need a SMSF to do that
• Borrowing capacity is based on the requirement of 30% deposit plus costs and history of super contributions
• You must consider the Fund’s liquidity i.e., ability to fund a pension without selling the property
• Generally, we prefer to invest in property outside super because you have more flexibility with what you do with the property, higher gearing, better negative gearing benefits and so on.
