Helping Create Future Investment Wealth in Property
Through Your Superannuation
We Can Help & Show You How
What is an SMSF?
An SMSF is a private super fund that you manage yourself. It can have up to six members, and all members are either trustees or directors of a corporate trustee. You control how your super is invested and managed.
Can I buy property through my SMSF?
Yes – including residential or commercial property. However:
The property must be for investment only (not lived in or used by you or family).
All purchases must follow strict SMSF rules.
Borrowing is possible, but only through special arrangements called LRBAs.
Can my SMSF buy a modular or relocatable home?
Yes – as long as:
The home is legally classified as real property (i.e. fixed to land).
It is used purely for investment purposes.
It complies with ATO and super laws.
Note: You can’t use or rent the home personally.
How much money do I need to start an SMSF?
There’s no official minimum, but most experts recommend at least $200,000 to make it cost-effective. Costs include setup, annual accounting, auditing, and compliance.
Who manages the SMSF and what are my responsibilities?
You do – along with any other members. You must:
Follow super laws and lodge annual reports.
Keep proper records and accounts.
Make sure investments follow your SMSF strategy.
Do I need help to set up and manage an SMSF?
Yes – it’s strongly advised. You’ll need:
An accountant or SMSF admin service for setup and reporting,
An independent auditor each year,
A financial adviser for investment and compliance guidance.
Invest in Property Using Your Super – Here’s How
Thinking about building long-term wealth with your superannuation? It’s possible – through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF). Many Australians use their SMSF to buy residential investment properties, including new builds. But before you dive in, here’s what you need to know.
Note: MarkOn Group does not offer financial or SMSF advice. You’ll need to speak with a licensed advisor to set up or manage an SMSF. We can, however, connect you with our trusted SMSF professionals if you need a referral – and help you choose the right property to build or buy.
