Invest Smarter with SMSF Lending

SMSF lending can be a powerful financial tool that allows you to leverage your superannuation funds to invest in property. This strategy could open a world of opportunities, empowering you to diversify your investment portfolio and potentially achieve greater returns while still adhering to the compliance requirements of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Lease Back to Your Business

With an SMSF, you can buy a commercial property and lease it back to your business — paying rent to your super while keeping the space.

Tax Efficiency

Benefit from concessional tax rates on earnings and potential capital gains tax advantages on retirement.

Greater Control

As trustee, you decide how your super is invested, tailoring decisions to suit your goals and risk appetite.

Potential for Higher Returns

Strategic property investments can generate rental income and capital growth, enhancing your retirement nest egg.

Michelle Affleck and Emily Reynolds were brilliant. As a first home buyer, I was expecting it to be a very daunting and stressful process, but with Michelle's guidance, it was seamless and completely stress free. Thanks so much, Michelle!

We would like to sincerely thank Michelle for all of her assistance throughout our home loan journey. Michelle was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive. She took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and made sure we understood all of our options. No question was ever too much trouble, and she was always available to provide guidance and reassurance when needed. Purchasing a home can be a stressful experience, but Michelle made the entire process smooth and straightforward. We are extremely grateful for her outstanding service and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for assistance with a home loan. Thank you for making what could have been a complicated process so much easier for us.

I recently used Stephen Boyce from QPF for my investment property purchase. The entire process was simple and Stephen was always available for my questions. A wide selection of banks were proposed by QPF, giving me clarity and choice in the mortgage process. I would definitely recommend Stephen and QPF for future home loans.

Michelle Affleck at QPF has been so amazing with helping me get a mortgage - I was told by previous brokers that I would have to get a second job (because my income is irregular) but Michelle found the right loan for me and made the whole process understandable. I really appreciate the work that was put in.

I would recommend the QPF Sunshine Coast team time and time again! Over the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Vanessa Stenhouse during both the sale of our home and the build of our new family residence. Throughout every stage, she has offered invaluable insight, guidance, and support. We first worked with Vanessa a few years ago when purchasing our first home, and we had absolutely no hesitation in reaching out to her again for this next chapter.

I honestly wish there were more stars to give. Vanessa went above and beyond with our first home journey and didn’t stop once the sold sign came down. She’s has followed up and checked in on our journey the whole way through. I highly recommend her to anyone I speak to.

This is the second experience we have had with Vanessa Stenhouse. On both occasions she proved to be highly helpful, organised, knowledgeable and attentive. She is always on the lookout for the best deal for her client, which we appreciate. She made the process seamless and stress free. She is also just a lovely person. I would highly recommend her.

Ready to get started? Reach out to one of our experienced property finance specialists to learn more about purchasing property through your SMSF.

How It Works

It’s exciting to think about having a place to truly call your own, but the process can also feel overwhelming. To make it easier, we’ve broken the process into 4 simple steps to guide you all the way to your first home.

Consult With QPF

Chat with our team to understand the finance options and loan requirements specific to SMSFs.

Speak With Your Accountant

Before purchasing, work with your accountant to set up the right SMSF structure and confirm compliance.

Select an Eligible Property

Choose a residential or commercial investment property that meets ATO and lender requirements.

Secure SMSF Lending

We arrange the finance based on your SMSF’s income and contributions, ensuring it fits the fund’s strategy.

The QPF Difference

Using your Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) to invest in property can be a powerful way to build wealth for retirement — but SMSF lending comes with strict rules and added complexity. Since 1977, QPF has been helping Australians navigate this process with tailored loan solutions and expert advice.

As a family-owned business, we know how important it is to get the structure right. That’s why we go beyond simply arranging finance. We compare lenders who specialise in SMSF loans, explain the rules clearly, and help you secure a deal that keeps your fund compliant while supporting your long-term investment goals.

You’ll have a dedicated broker in your corner, guiding you through each stage of the journey and helping you make informed decisions with confidence.

Family Owned & Operated

We treat your retirement and investment goals with the same care as our own.

SMSF Finance Specialists

We know the rules and requirements, helping you structure compliant and effective loans.

Access to 40+ Lenders

We compare SMSF loan options across a wide panel to secure the right deal.

Support Long After Settlement

From application to settlement and future refinancing, we’re with you every step.

Everything Finance, All in One Place

Property, equipment, vehicles, insurance, and more — we’ve got you covered.

Lease Commercial Property Back to Your Business

When structured correctly, your SMSF can purchase a commercial property and lease it to your own business — allowing you to pay rent into your super fund instead of to a landlord.

It’s a smart way to grow your super through property investment while still using the premises for your day-to-day operations. But like all SMSF strategies, it’s essential to get the structure, lease terms, and compliance details right from the start.

We’ll help you understand what’s allowed, what’s required, and where the risks lie — then arrange finance that supports both your fund and your business. It’s that simple.
