Superannuation and Property - What are the benefits?
GROW YOUR SUPER WITH PROPERTY
What are the benefits?
This investment strategy offers various benefits.
The advantages are:
- invest in real estate with limited funds available
- accelerate the build up of superannuation funds for later use in
retirement
- direct property investments for super by using an UUT
- direct property investment for personal investment by using an UUT
- up to four individuals can channel and accumulate superannuation
contributions into a joint SMSF to build up cash flow into the fund
(conditions apply)
- positive cash flow can be used to buy more units in the investment
property at the same time reducing your investment loan faster
- investors gain leverage of growth and income through borrowing funds for
investment in the trust
- earnings are fully distributed by the UUT to security holders
in proportion of their holdings
- earnings are concessionally taxed in the SMSF
- interest for borrowed funds can be offset against earnings for the
personal investor
- all the usual tax deductions from property investment are available to
both the personal investor and the SMSF
- no capital gains tax if the investment property is sold in pension phase
through the SMSF
The presented strategy is one of many strategies available and has also some
disadvantages that should not be discounted:
- direct property investment is illiquid and cannot be sold easily
- there may be some capital gains tax implications when the UUT purchases
ongoing units from the personal investor
- insurance and risk management are additional costs to protect your
investment and superannuation
- leverage of earnings and growth can also magnify losses even if they are
temporary
- inflated prices for the investment property can delay or ruin the benefits
- this is not suitable for people looking for short term liquid gains
Property investment through an UUT is a buy and hold strategy
and works best over a long-term investment horizon. At Equity Resource we can
show you how to realize these benefits and how you can control possible
disadvantages. We have a service solution that provides exactly that, creating
peace of mind for you now and in the future.
