In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, pull back the curtain on self-managed super fund (SMSF) lending – and how it can be a game changer for investors looking to expand their portfolios.

While most investors focus on personal income when calculating borrowing power, Jack explains how mandatory super contributions can service property loans inside an SMSF – without touching your personal finances. That separation can unlock up to $1 million in borrowing capacity.

The trio explores how SMSF lending works, the mechanics of what banks consider for approval, and why it’s becoming increasingly attractive in a tighter borrowing environment. With your employer’s 11–12 per cent contributions working in the background, investors can grow their portfolios without sacrificing personal serviceability.

They also break down who SMSF lending is right for, the contribution strategies that can supercharge your capacity, and why having the right broker – especially in a space dominated by non-major lenders – is critical.
