Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Loans
Buy investment property inside your superannuation with a structure that meets SMSF lending rules.
At HomeLoan 4 You, we help Australians take control of their retirement wealth through SMSF property investment. If you want to grow your super by purchasing residential or commercial property, we can guide you through the process of borrowing within your SMSF under strict lending and compliance requirements.
With access to SMSF approved lenders and deep understanding of super fund structures, we tailor your loan to meet ATO regulations, protect your fund’s compliance status, and support your long-term financial goals.
What Is an SMSF Loan
An SMSF loan allows your self-managed super fund to borrow money to purchase an investment property, using a special structure known as a limited recourse borrowing arrangement (LRBA). This means:
The loan is held in a separate trust
The lender’s claim is limited to the property (not your other super assets)
Rental income and capital gains flow back into the super fund
The loan and property must meet strict ATO guidelines
You can invest in residential or commercial property, provided the property meets sole purpose and related-party rules under super law.
How We Help You Structure It Right
SMSF lending is complex—we make it clear, compliant and easy to manage. Our SMSF loan services include:
SMSF loan pre-assessments
We evaluate your fund’s readiness to borrow, including balance, contributions and structure.
Access to SMSF-approved lenders
We work with banks and specialist lenders offering compliant LRBA loan products.
Guidance on structuring the bare trust
We help coordinate your legal and accounting team to set up the holding trust correctly.
Loan options for residential and commercial property
Invest in rental homes, office spaces, retail units or your own business premises (if compliant).
Fixed and variable rate loan comparisons
Choose the loan type that suits your fund’s risk profile and cash flow.
ATO and lender compliance support
