Technical Summit 2021
Trustees continue to gear using limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBAs) to purchase real property in their SMSF but is this always the best option?
This session will look at the rules and restrictions which apply when gearing inside an SMSF to buy property. The session will then examine the alternative structures available to SMSFs without borrowing directly and unpack the benefits, risks and rules involved so that you can help trustees identify which real property ownership structure best suits their circumstances.
At the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Understand the different structures to achieve ownership of property for an SMSF;
- Recognise the advantages and disadvantages of using limited recourse borrowing arrangements when compared to alternative structures, and;
- Comprehend how the relevant rules apply in different trustee circumstances to identify the most appropriate structure and when it may be appropriate to gear.
