SMSF Home Loans FAQs

Quick answers to the questions SMSF trustees and advisers ask most often before starting a loan application.

Contact Us
Can I use my SMSF to buy a residential investment property? −+
Yes. An SMSF can borrow to purchase a residential investment property using a limited recourse loan, as long as the property is held in a separate trust (called a bare trust) and your fund has enough cash on hand.
How much deposit does an SMSF need for a home loan? −+
Most SMSF lenders require a minimum deposit of 20–30% of the property value, plus additional funds for stamp duty, legal fees and other purchase costs.
Can an SMSF borrow to buy a commercial property? −+
Yes. An SMSF can borrow to purchase commercial property, and a fund member's business can even lease the premises from the SMSF under certain conditions.
Do I need a bare trust for an SMSF home loan? −+
Yes. A bare trust (also called a holding trust or custodian trust) is a legal requirement for SMSF limited recourse borrowing arrangements. It holds the property title until the loan is fully repaid.
How long does SMSF home loan approval take? −+
SMSF loan approvals typically take longer than standard home loans — usually four to eight weeks depending on the lender, the fund's structure and the documentation provided.
Can rental income from the property be used to repay the SMSF loan? −+
Yes. Rental income received by the SMSF can be used towards loan repayments, along with other fund contributions and investment income.
