Can I live in my SMSF property?

Owning direct property has always been a popular investment choice for SMSFs. The ATO’s March 2024 statistics show that around 15% of all SMSF assets are held in direct property assets, including residential and non-residential property owned both in Australia and overseas.

With an increased interest in SMSF property ownership, a question that pops up quite often is if the SMSF members, or their family, can live in their SMSF-owned property.

In almost all cases, the answer would be no.
