SMSF home loans (read before you commit)

Self-managed super fund property loans are tightly regulated. LVR caps, lender narrowing, single-acquirable-asset rules, and the personal-guarantee question.

SMSF property is a structure, not a product. The fund borrows, not you. The mistakes are expensive and most are irreversible.

The three rules that catch people out

(1) Single acquirable asset, one property per loan, no renovating to add value. (2) LVR capped at 70-80%, often 60% for residential. (3) Loan must be a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement.
