Hi
Just attended a seminar yesterday on investing in property using SMSF and an idea came to mind.
1. Buy an investment property using SMSF
2. Rental income + 9% contribution will be used to pay P&I of the loan (should be sufficient)
3. Sell the property after 5 to 10 years (assuming there is growth) and pay 15% CGT
4. Repeat step 1 to 3 again
Now, fast forward to 5 - 10 years before planned retirement age
1. Buy property that you intend to live in upon retirement and rent it out as an IP
2. Upon pension / retirement age, withdraw assets from SMSF (including the property) without trigger CGT or Stamp Duty and move in.
Is the above idea sensible and any pitfalls / disadvantage to this ?
Cheers
