SMSFs

Property Investment Within an SMSF Structure

An educational look at the planning, evidence and compliance questions involved when an SMSF holds property.

Why this matters

Property in an SMSF can involve trustees, tenants, finance providers, valuers, advisers and administrators. The property choice is only one part of the picture; the arrangement must also fit the fund's investment strategy and relevant rules.

What to organise

Keep purchase documents, finance information, lease records, rental activity, expense records, valuations and trustee decision records together. Separate the fund's transactions from personal or related-party activity.

When to seek tailored support

Property arrangements can be complex, particularly where borrowing or related parties are involved. Obtain specialist accounting, legal and financial advice before entering into a transaction.
