112. Using Super to Buy Property
Manage episode 407359592 series 3559707
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we explore the utilization of superannuation to purchase property within a self-managed superannuation fund. We place strong emphasis on the importance of diversification when investing in property through superannuation funds. Placing all retirement income into a single asset class exposes individuals to significant risks, underlining the need for diversification within their portfolio. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of leveraging, such as the potential for increased profits, and the tax advantages associated with selling properties in the pension phase to avoid capital gains tax.
However, we also caution that careful consideration must be given to factors such as cash flow, additional contributions, borrowing costs, and other expenses before pursuing this strategy. We also touch upon alternative options, such as retail or industry superannuation funds, for the purpose of comparison.
