An SMSF Loan is a specific type of financing that allows a self-managed super fund to borrow money for the purpose of purchasing an investment property. These loans operate under a unique legal structure known as a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA).
The loan is secured by the property, and repayments are made from the SMSF’s funds. This framework enables SMSF trustees to invest in property without directly exposing their entire superannuation balance to borrowing risk.
