    Wow the PIC group must be pushing hard with their seminars if they have to have someone join the forum and then post the same post 3 times.

    Hi

    Try this link – yes you can borrow to purchase property within your SMSF. Yes I work for Macquarie and NO it isn't a product plug, but to give you an idea on what are the products available to allow you to purchase property via your SMSF. I'm pretty sure most banks offer this type of product so its worth hunting around.

    I got sick of paying expensive fees being a part of the super fund that the company I worked for put my guaranteed 9% in, I worked out that even if I contributed myself I was still not going to have enough based on the previous 10 year average annual returns. There are a lot of grey areas it seems when companies post their annual profits including it being almost impossible to find out exactly how much in fees were taken through investing,managing etc. I was paying a weekly amount for a fund manager I had never spoken to let alone have any idea what my super was being invested in.
    I spoke to a few people and was referred to a company who had been going for over 20 years and with new legislation allowing a SMSF to borrow money to buy a property, I followed their advice and now instead of paying unknown fees and getting unknown returns as well as worrying about if my super will be there when I retire, I have been able to use my super as a healthy deposit, the rent and my 9% guarantee more than cover the loan and all expenses, the surplus reduces the loan and provides more equity to build a portfolio through my SMSF. It costs me $1100 a year to manage through the company and that is my tax and auditing for the fund, roughly $20 a week which is nothing compared to what I was paying and they do that all for me. Now my super will grow roughly 10% per year from the value of the whole property instead of making Maybe making 10% annually just on the amount in my company fund which was bugger all based on my own statement over a 12 year period, for 3 years they lost money as well as all my conributions, and no excuse and the directors still got paid masive salaries for losing my money as well as everyone else's.
    For me personally, having a SMSF and using super invest properties and Sunpac was the best thing I have done as now I have my own strategy and I can also contribute my own money through salary sacrafice as well as reduce my taxable income and have even more money for retirement. Not only that, but I am not limited to how many properties I can acquire or any particular area.

    There was a big rush and great deal of excitement when SMSF were allowed to borrow.

    Now, once it has been examined a bit further the benefits are not as great. It seems now to be pushed by property developers looking for new sources of buyers/finance.

    There is some really dodgy stuff out there.

    Cheers
