Picking Your Retirement Powerhouse
Building a secure retirement is all about strategy. While traditional superannuation offers a reliable foundation, property investment within your super (via a Self-Managed Super Fund – SMSF) can potentially supercharge your wealth accumulation.
TRADITIONAL SUPER: A tax-advantaged way to save for retirement. Offers moderate, consistent returns (around 5.19% annually) managed by professionals. Limited ability to control investment choices or leverage (borrow money) for higher returns.
PROPERTY WITHIN SUPER (SMSF): Offers the potential for higher returns. Average annual property growth of 8.42% over 15 years, plus rental income can significantly boost your nest egg. You gain greater control over investment decisions and the ability to leverage for a more valuable property. However, this comes with increased responsibility for property management and market fluctuations.
Here’s the twist: SMSFs can now borrow to invest in property, offering flexibility and the potential for greater wealth creation within the super framework.
The right choice depends on you. Traditional Super provides a safe and managed approach, while Property Within Super offers potentially higher returns but requires a more active and hands-on approach.
Ready to supercharge your retirement with property? Here’s your roadmap:
Find a specialised firm that handles SMSF setup and management. They’ll guide you through the process and ensure everything stays compliant. Think of them as your financial cornerstones.
Work with an SMSF specialist to establish your fund. This includes choosing trustees, creating legal documents, registering your fund, and opening a dedicated bank account. It’s like laying the solid foundation for your investment.
Connect with a dedicated mortgage broker to get a pre-approval for your property loan. Knowing your borrowing capacity beforehand helps you focus on the right investments. This is like preheating your financial engine for the journey.
Our property consultants guide you through researching, selecting, and presenting offers on suitable properties that meet ATO and lender guidelines. Think of them as your expert navigators to find your ideal investment territory.
A Bare Trust will be established to facilitate the loan application and purchase process.
Once your loan receives final approval, the bank sends contracts for your review. Get independent legal advice before signing and returning them. The bank will then finalize everything, and settlement will be scheduled. This is like finally landing your dream property and popping the champagne!
