The Government Just Killed Killed Your Retirement Strategy (SMSF Property Ban) | Property Expert
About this episode
SMSF property borrowing rules are changing, and 10 August 2026 could be the final deadline for Australians wanting to buy residential property inside super using an SMSF loan.
In this episode, Michael breaks down the exact roadmap Pinnacle is using with clients to get SMSF property purchases done before the deadline without rushing into the wrong asset. He explains what is actually changing, why exchange matters more than settlement, why lender risk may become the real deadline, and the six phases investors need to follow, from deciding whether an SMSF property strategy suits them, to setting up the structure, locking in finance, building the right property brief and exchanging before the window closes.
If you have money in super and have been thinking about using your SMSF to buy property, this episode gives you a clear framework for avoiding costly mistakes, poor asset selection, weak cash flow, and long-term regret.
