How to Invest in Property Through Your Self Managed Super Fund

Super is an excellent vehicle for accumulating wealth for retirement and Australians have had a long-standing love affair with property. By combining the two, many think they have achieved a match made in heaven.

Self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs) have always had the option of purchasing property with cash. Since September 2007, when the Commonwealth Government gave SMSFs the green-light to purchase property and other assets with borrowings, there has been a surge in interest from Australians looking to transfer their super into SMSFs and use their money to invest in property.

Before considering using your SMSF to invest in property, and in particular borrowing to invest, it is best to have all the facts. In this informative book, superannuation expert, Martin Murden, looks at this investment strategy from all angles:

• Comparing direct and indirect property investing
• Buying property with cash or borrowings
• Considering what your SMSF can and cannot buy
• Buying with partners
• Understanding how investment property is taxed
• Selling property – before and after retirement
• Managing your investment property in retirement.
