Deposit requirements vary between lenders and depend on factors such as the property’s location, use, value, and the overall strength of the SMSF.
In most cases, SMSF borrowers should expect to contribute a meaningful deposit as lenders generally require a lower loan-to-value ratio (LVR) compared to traditional residential lending.
Additional costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, accounting fees, and loan establishment costs should also be factored into the overall funding requirement.
A specialist SMSF mortgage broker can help determine your likely borrowing capacity and deposit requirements before you begin searching for a property.
