Buying Property In Your SMSF Has Changed
From 10 August 2026, SMSFs can no longer establish a new Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) to acquire residential property. That doesn’t mean residential property is off the table — it means it needs to be acquired using your fund’s available capital, not new borrowing. Existing LRBAs already in place aren’t affected, and commercial property borrowing continues under its existing rules. See our full breakdown of the new rules for SMSF residential property for what this means in practice.
No Residential Property Borrowing
New residential LRBAs are no longer available under the current rules.
Cash Acquisition
Residential property can still be acquired using available SMSF fund capital.
Completed Property
A completed residential property can be purchased outright at settlement.
Commercial Still Available
SMSFs can still borrow to purchase commercial property under existing rules.
Strategy Matters More Than Ever.
Without leverage to fall back on, the property itself has to work harder — on yield, on fundamentals, and on fit with your fund’s actual strategy. That’s a higher bar, and it’s exactly where we focus.
Our Approach
Start With Strategy.
Your SMSF investment should begin with why you are investing — not with a property someone happens to have available. Before we talk about any specific property, we help you get clear on your fund’s objectives, your risk profile, and what role — if any — property should play.

Why Yield Matters For SMSF Property
Cash Acquisition Changes What “Good” Looks Like
When a fund is buying with capital rather than leverage, rental yield carries more of the weight — it’s what supports the fund’s cash flow and pension obligations without a mortgage to lean on. Different property types suit different strategies:
High-Yield Residential
Property selected principally for strong, dependable rental income.
Co-Living Property
Multiple income streams from a single asset, often at a materially higher yield.
Share Houses / Group Homes
Higher-density rental arrangements built around consistent occupancy.
Capital Growth Property
Property selected principally for long-term growth potential.
Comparing property types in an SMSF can help you work out which of these fits your fund’s objectives.

SMSF Investment Property. With new residential, SMSF borrowing is no longer available, the importance of rental income and yield deserves greater consideration. For an SMSF acquiring residential property with available fund capital, there may be less scope for interest-related deductions than under the former leveraged model, making the property’s income-producing capacity an important component of the overall investment return.

New residential LRBA’s are no longer available under the current rules.
