Everything you need to know about your taking control of your superannuation and building a portfolio of one or more investment properties within super…
“The Step-By-Step Guide To Buying Property With Super”
Hi, this is Andy Maher for SF Wealth Management, with a message for anyone curious about how to invest in property via your own self-managed superannuation fund.
Superannuation is one of the best wealth-creation vehicles available today, mainly because of its unique tax-protected status. While the top income tax rate is 46.5%, super contributions and income within super are taxed at just 15% in most cases, reducing to 0%.
And changes to legislation in 2007 finally allowed Australians to borrow money within a Self-Managed Super Fund in order to buy assets such as residential or commercial property.
Why might you want to do this? In a moment, I’ll tell you why, but before I do, it’s important that I show you this important compliance information.
Please take a moment to read this slide - you can pause the video for a few moments if you like. This basically says that the information in this presentation is general in nature only, and does not take into account your personal circumstances, financial needs or objectives.

Now that we’ve taken care of the formalities, let me return to the case for buying property within super, as opposed to outside super….
Just take a look at these graphs, which show a comparison of the two options.
In this example, we’re comparing two people who invest $5,000 per year either inside super (the green line), or outside super (the purple line).
Both investments inside and outside super earn 7.7% pa net of fees but before taxes. But with funds inside super taxed at just 15%, compared with 31.5% outside super (in this example), the “inside super” scenario delivers a much larger final sum.
In fact in this example, investing within super delivers a “nest egg” at age 65 of $355,472, which is a whole $139,755 more than the “outside super” amount!
What’s more, when identical drawings are taken out after age 65 to live on, the money invested inside super lasts 8 years longer, than the money invested outside super.
The reason for the much better result within super, is of course the lower tax rates that apply to super contributions, as well as earnings and capital gains that apply to super investments.
So the bottom line is that investing in assets within super - and that includes property - is one of the fastest and most secure ways to build wealth available in Australia today.
There are many other reasons why buying property within super can be a very good idea, but before we get into those, let’s quickly preview what you’ll discover during this presentation…
