SMSF Property Update: Proposed Changes to Residential Property Borrowing

The Federal Government has agreed to support a ban on future Self-Managed-Super-Funds (SMSF) borrowing for residential property through Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs). From what’s been announced, this would apply to future residential property purchases, not existing arrangements. Existing SMSF property loans are expected to be left alone, and there’s also talk of a 45-day transition period for deals already underway once the legislation receives Royal Assent.

If you own or are considering purchasing property in your SMSF, make sure you stay informed and be up to date with these proposed changes that will affect future SMSF strategies.

Act now, time is crucial.

Did you know two seemingly identical apartments can have very different values? 💰🏢

When it comes to apartment valuations, it's not just about the property itself. Location within the building, aspect, floor level, views, surrounding infrastructure, local demand, and future development plans can all influence an apartment's market value.

That's why where you buy an apartment matters just as much as what you buy.

Whether you're investing, refinancing, or planning to sell, understanding the factors that drive apartment values can help you make smarter property decisions.

What works for you? Steady cash flow, or bigger deductions upfront?💸

Prime-cost depreciation gives consistency, while diminishing value depreciation lets you claim larger deductions earlier, and less in later years📈

How accurate are property valuations really?🏘️

Let's clear something up. A lot of people rely on quick online estimates. But a formal property valuation is completely different.

It is a sworn legal document that can only be completed by a Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) registered with the Australian Property Institute. Because valuers follow strict professional standards, they cannot just guess. They base the final number on hard evidence, balancing an in-depth physical inspection of the property's age and condition with current local market data.

The 50% CGT discount is proposed to be replaced by a cost base indexation from 1 July 2027, which will significantly change how capital gains are calculated for property investors. Without accurate tracking of all five cost base elements, investors risk overpaying on tax when they eventually sell their assets. 📈

📊 Your property's cost base is the number that determines how much tax you pay when you sell. Most Australian property investors don't fully understand their cost base until it's too late. Getting this right could save you thousands in Capital Gains Tax.

💡 What is a Cost Base? Your cost base is the total amount used to calculate your capital gain or loss when you sell an investment property. It's not just what you paid for it.

📐 What's included in your cost base:
🔹 The original purchase price
🔹 Stamp Duty and legal fees at purchase
🔹 Capital improvements and renovations
🔹 Costs of borrowing and certain loan establishment fees
🔹 Agent commissions and legal fees at sale

A higher cost base = a lower capital gain = less CGT payable 📊 Poor record keeping = an inflated tax bill at sale

💼 Strategic depreciation planning NOW impacts your tax outcome LATER

🏠 Dual Key homes — the property investment strategy most Australians are sleeping on. One title. One lot. Two separate dwellings. And potentially two rental incomes. Here's why savvy Australian investors are paying close attention:

💡 What is a Dual Key Home? A single property that contains two self-contained living spaces, each with their own entrance, kitchen, and living area, under one roof and one title.

📈 The investor advantages: Two streams of rental income from a single purchase, Only ONE Stamp Duty payment on one title, Lower entry cost than buying two separate investment properties, and Easier to finance than a traditional dual occupancy.

What to watch out for:
💸 Higher strata or body corporate fees in some cases
📊 Tenant management is more complex with two separate tenancies
🏘️ Resale market can be narrower — not every buyer wants dual occupancy
⚠️ Zoning and council restrictions vary by state and council

Done right, a Dual Key home can dramatically accelerate your portfolio's cash flow and wealth-building potential.
