Success Stories:
How One SMSF Saved Thousands in Interest
A self-employed business owner had purchased a commercial property through their Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) several years ago. While the property had performed well, their SMSF loan remained on a variable interest rate that was no longer competitive.
Following a review by ASA Mortgage Brokers, we identified an opportunity to refinance the existing SMSF loan to a significantly lower interest rate without changing the investment strategy.
The Challenge
- Existing SMSF loan with a higher interest rate.
- Rising repayments were reducing the fund’s available cash flow.
- The trustees wanted to improve the long-term performance of their retirement savings while maintaining ownership of the commercial property.
Our Solution
After comparing multiple SMSF lenders, we secured a competitive refinance package that offered:
- A substantially lower interest rate.
- Reduced monthly loan repayments.
- Minimal disruption throughout the refinance process.
- A streamlined application with ongoing support from settlement through to completion.
The Outcome
✅ Lower monthly loan repayments.
✅ Thousands of dollars in projected interest savings over the remaining loan term.
✅ Improved cash flow within the SMSF.
✅ Greater capacity to reinvest surplus funds and accelerate retirement wealth.
Most importantly, the trustees achieved these savings without selling the property or changing their investment strategy.
Why It Matters
Many SMSF trustees continue paying higher interest rates simply because they haven’t reviewed their existing loan in years. Even a modest reduction in interest rates can generate significant long-term savings, allowing more money to remain invested in the super fund and to work towards building retirement wealth.
At ASA Mortgage Brokers, we specialise in reviewing existing SMSF loans and helping trustees secure competitive lending solutions that align with their long-term investment objectives.
