Property Investment Through SMSF Loans - Rovo Finance

row your retirement wealth through strategic property investment. Rovo Finance helps you access SMSF loans with expert guidance, lender comparisons, and full support across trust structuring, compliance and settlement. 

An SMSF loan allows your self-managed super fund (SMSF) to purchase residential or commercial investment property. These loans operate under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement (LRBA) meaning only the property itself is at risk, not the rest of your super assets. 

SMSF loans are tightly regulated and require specific structures, including a bare trust to hold legal title. Loan repayments must come from the SMSF’s income or contributions, and the property must be purchased at arm’s length not from related parties or used by fund members or relatives. 

Rovo Finance helps you navigate these rules, compare lenders, and structure your loan to support long-term growth and compliance.

FAQs

No. SMSF members or their relatives cannot live in or use the property. It must be held strictly for investment purposes and comply with arm’s length rules.

An LRBA ensures that only the property purchased is at risk if the loan defaults protecting the rest of your SMSF assets. It’s a legal requirement for SMSF property loans.
