FAQS

What Clients Often Ask Us About Financial Planning & Self Managed Super

Do we have to pay off our house before we can invest?

No. In fact, investing in a multiple-property portfolio may help pay your home off in half the time with the correct strategy and plan in place. Your home can be an essential source of equity to help buy an investment property using none of your own money for deposits. This is where we help by showing you how to make your money work harder for YOU.

Alternatively, you may have sufficient funds in cash or inside your current Superannuation fund. If appropriately advised by a professional, set up a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) that you can use to buy property. Please speak to us and our experienced SMSF Financial Planners and Property Wealth Advisors to determine what options best suit your situation.

We want to invest using our Super. What are our options?

Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) are used by many Australians who have the capability and professional support to take control of their superannuation. We have helped many clients purchase property through SMSF, and it’s important always to seek advice from an accredited Financial Planner to make sure SMSF is suitable for your situation.

Five Point checklist to find out if an SMSF is suitable for you:

  1. Don’t rush. Make it part of the overall Strategic Plan
  2. Focus on strategy, finance structure and investment-grade property
  3. Get specific SMSF financial advice
  4. Set up the SMSF entities and Bare Trust structures
  5. Get property investment advice from an insured advisor
What is a self-managed super (SMSF) and how does it work?

A self-managed super (SMSF) is a private superannuation fund that you manage directly as a trustee. It gives you greater control over how your retirement savings are invested, within strict regulatory guidelines. Proper structuring ensures compliance, diversification and alignment with your long term retirement objectives.

Is SMSF property investment suitable for everyone?

SMSF property investment can be effective when structured correctly; however, it is not suitable for every investor. It requires sufficient fund balance, stable cash flow and a clear long-term strategy. Professional guidance ensures the property aligns with your overall SMSF investment strategy and retirement timeline.

What are the compliance requirements for a self-managed super (SMSF)?

A self-managed super (SMSF) must comply with ATO regulations, annual audits, reporting obligations and strict investment rules. Trustees are legally responsible for ensuring the fund operates correctly. Structured support ensures compliance is maintained at every stage.

Can I buy residential property through my SMSF?

Yes, SMSF property investment allows residential property purchases under specific lending and compliance rules. The property must meet sole purpose test requirements and cannot be used personally by members. Correct structuring is essential before proceeding.

How much money do I need to start a self-managed super (SMSF)?

The appropriate starting balance depends on your investment objectives and chosen SMSF investment strategies. Establishing and maintaining an SMSF involves costs, so sufficient capital is required to ensure efficiency and long term sustainability.

What are the risks of SMSF property investment?

Like any investment, SMSF property investment carries risks including market fluctuations, liquidity constraints and lending considerations. Diversification and structured strategy help manage these risks within a disciplined SMSF framework.

How are SMSF investment strategies different from traditional super funds?

Traditional super funds pool investments across broad asset classes. SMSF investment strategies allow tailored asset selection, including direct property, shares and other approved investments. This level of control requires careful planning and regulatory oversight.

Can I combine financial planning with my SMSF strategy?

Yes. Integrated financial planning ensures your self-managed super (SMSF) aligns with your broader wealth objectives, including property acquisition, retirement income planning and risk management. Coordinated strategy improves clarity and long-term outcomes.

“Working with Matt Bower and the team of NIA was an absolute pleasure”

Working with Matt Bower and the team of NIA was an absolute pleasure. The team were simply wonderful in helping me navigate the sometimes tricky steps in purchasing an apartment. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, their patience in answering all of my questions as a first home buyer was very much appreciated. The fact that the team could make a first home buyer relaxed and confident is testament to Matt and his teams diligence and expertise in the property market. Being able to put everything simply and in layman’s terms was a key part of their support. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Matt and the team at NIA, and I would recommend NIA to anybody who wishes to make their own financial situation all that more secure.

“So glad we found someone to sit alongside us to help guide us successfully”

Having engaged with similar companies in the past and got burnt, we expected the strategy session to be much more of the same. So, we were very sceptical in the beginning because we didn’t want the sales hype or pressure to do something that wasn’t right for us. For us anything around financial strategy, tax and investing is about Trust, Ability, Affinity, Clear Plans, Integrity and being available. We were very pleased by the fresh approach and ‘concierge’ level service by National Investment Advisory. Once we had all the facts and education with a clear plan the decision to move forward was entirely ours. So glad we found someone to sit alongside us to help guide us successfully.

“Matt and the NIA team provided first class service with exceptional commitment to my financial wellbeing”

Very few Medico Professionals are good with their finances, most of us are certainly not. We spend many years being educated and trained in our profession to earn above average income. However little time is committed to learning how to manage our finances, controlling our high income, saving tax and investing or debt management. As a busy Dentist wanting to focus on delivering quality results for my patients, I needed to save time, have proper guidance and advice on not just tax savings but financial integration. Thankfully I was introduced to Matt Bower – MD National Investment Advisory – by a medical colleague, Matt and the NIA team provided first class service with exceptional commitment to my financial wellbeing.
