Just read the article in this month's API re SMSF and am trying to learn as much as I can about them. Have read some articles on this site - thanks, all, particularly BV for your detailed post.
What are the drawbacks of buying multiple resi IPs in a SMSF? One I noted in API is that you can't borrow against equity in your IP, so the strategy of leapfrogging (Peter Spann and others) can't be done with IPs in an SMSF.
How much of an issue would this be compared with buying outside a SMSF but not relying on cross-collateralising loans (so could only borrow against one IP rather than multiple)?
What other drawbacks should I be aware of?
Thanks,
GreenGoblin
