Self Managed Super Fund Loans
Do you have approximately $150,000 in your Superannuation? If you do, you may be eligible for a Self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) loan to purchase real estate with your Super!
A vast number of major mortgage brokers and bank managers do not understand SMSF Loans as they are complex and they do not deal with them on a daily basis. This means that errors can be made, and loans declined purely because of their lack of understanding; as such it is strongly advised that you seek expert advice when considering Self Managed Super Fund borrowing.
There are also significant differences between policy and pricing between different banks, so speaking to a specialist mortgage broker such as The Home Loan Experts will ease the confusion that you would face dealing with the different financial institutions directly. You can find out more about their services on their Self Managed Super Fund Loan information page.
What are the benefits to borrowing in your fund?
Since the Superannuation Industry Supervision Act 1993 (SIS ACT) was amended in September of 2007, Funds now have the ability to borrow for Property Investments. This allows DIY Super Funds to take advantage of the same benefits as regular property investors.
Below are some of the benefits available to SMSF loans: (Please note: SMSF loans are also commonly referred to as Warrant Trust Loans, Instalment Warrants or SMSF Trust Loans.)
- Reduces tax rate on rental income to 15%
- Tax advantages on sale of investment property
- Super Funds are able to purchase property worth more than it’s available funds through the benefit of gearing
- You can use income from the security to help pay off the loan
- Extensive tax deductions can be claimed by the Super Fund
- Funds receive all income and capital growth, even if the property has not been paid off as yet
- Superannuation assets are secure, as the lender does not have recourse to the SMSF’s other assets in the event of default
How do I purchase a property with my SMSF?
Self-managed Superannuation Funds can choose any type of property as investment; these investment properties include Commercial, Residential, Holiday Units and Retail. However, you must ensure that the property complies with the SIS ACT, the SMSF’s overall investment strategy (Superannuation funds must have a written investment strategy in place), and that the Fund has sufficient equity to complete the purchase.
Here are some basic guidelines as to how a SMSF purchases a property: (Please Note: The SMSF must purchase property from an unrelated party. Purchases must be at arm’s length.)
- Establish your SMSF – The Trust Deed establishing the fund must have the power to Purchase Real Estate, Borrow Money, and Mortgage Property to secure payment of that borrowing
- Obtain a loan approval – it is recommended to obtain a Pre-Approval on your Superannuation Fund before paying your deposit
- Establish the property Trust Deed – this is something that your accountant or financial adviser will need to create. It is also important that the SMSF Trustee itself is not the Property Trustee, nor are the individual member of the SMSF are to act as Property Trustee – as this will breach the regulations of the SIS ACT
- Exchange of Contract – deposit to be paid from Superannuation Fund
- Formal Approval – Once Valuation on security is completed the lender will issue a Formal Approval
- Loan Documents Issued – The lender will have their solicitor prepare loan documents and issue to you
- Settlement – On completion of the purchase the Property Trustee mortgages the property to the lender
How is the loan structured?
The property itself is owned by a security trustee. You can click on the below picture for a detailed flowchart of how the mortgage & ownership of the property will be setup.
What are the features of a Super Fund Loan?
- Members of the SMSF are unable to reside in the investment residential property – however they can do so after retirement, providing it is transferred from the SMSF before hand
- The lender has no recourse to the other assets of the Super Fund, providing the SMSF with absolute protection for its other assets
- The Super Fund receives the income from the investment property
- The legal owner of the real estate will be the Property Trustee
- The beneficial owner of the real estate is the Super Fund
- The Fund can make any adjustments to the property as it sees fit (e.g. Lease, renovate, repair, or sell) providing this is in conjunction with the loan terms
- The SMSF has the ability to reduce or pay out the loan at any time (subject to the terms and conditions of the lender and loan)
- After the loan is repaid to the lender the legal ownership of the security will be transferred to the Super Fund – repayments of the loan are made from the SMSF
