Is It Hard To Get Finance In An SMSF For Share Or Property Purchase?

I don’t think the bank is going to lend you for a share purchase (margin lending in Super). But, you can under certain rules, fund a share purchase with outside of Super money.
You can lend it to your SMSF to buy shares. However, it is complex and you would need to have a good reason why, but it is possible.

With property purchase, it’s not really too difficult. In fact the application form for finance in Super is actually three or four pages long for some lenders. If anyone’s gone for finance recently outside of super, it’s usually 30, 40 pages. So it’s actually an easier application process, in most cases with SMSF funding.
