As you may be aware, not all properties are created equal!
What this means to you is that only a small percentage of properties available make for a sound Investment for you.
In a SMSF one needs to also take into consideration the following (this is NOT tax advice) :
-
- A SMSF is taxed at a maximum rate of only 15%
- Most SMSF's earn very little income from their investments
- Meaning one can only deduct expenses against a taxable income, and in your SMSF, the only income will come from rent or interest / dividends, which are the funds not invested in your property
- The result is that most of your outgoings will not be deductible, and therefore your gearing (negative cash flow) could be a lot higher than if you owned the property outside of Super
It thus makes Investment Sense, to buy a Property with a Higher Rental Yield, which is in a Capital Growth Location !
What this means to the astute investor wanting to take advantage of all the other benefits of Investing in a Property in Super is :
- It makes financial sense to secure a property in a sound location where the Rental Yields are higher
- The higher the rent, the more improved your overall, end benefit, Retirement Savings will be
- The property may not be where you live, which is OK as it should be viewed purely as an 'investment vehicle'
- If you can secure a property which meets your investment strategy, with a higher rental yield + capital growth, this is first prize for your SMSF and ultimately for your retirement lifestyle
See table below for demonstration purposes only clearly demonstrating how a higher rental yield will positively effect the end benefit the outcome of your Super
[The above is calculated using the following : 5.5% interest only; 20% deposit; $10k contributions to SMSF; Including (management fees, insurance, rates, body corp etc); Including (depreciation benefits); 5% capital growth, 3% inflation - once again for demonstration purposes only to give you the general idea that a higher rental yield positively effects the outcome of your retirement planning]
"Not all properties are created equal nor suited to a SMSF !"
Based on the above examples it makes financial sense to identify which property is more suited to a SMSF, which will return you a higher return on your investment, and in a location with capital growth opportunity ... you will agree. This could mean an extra $1 000 000 (1m $'s) more at retirement for you and your family.
