    Hi,

    Is there anyway to buy land with our self managed superfund? We’ve already purchased the land but would like to sell it to our superfund. Or is there a way to borrow from our superfund to build on it?

    Any advice will be much appreciated.

    A SMSF cannot acquire residential property from a member.
    Also a SMSF cannot borrow to construct
    A SMSF also cannot lend money to a member.

    Why sell it to your SMSF? Tax effectiveness? Is it a dud?

    What terry said, can't acquire residential property from a member anyway.
