SMSF Finance
Empowering Your Wealth Through Strategic SMSF Lending.
Using your Self-Managed Super Fund to invest in property can be a powerful way to grow your retirement wealth — but SMSF lending is highly specialised, heavily regulated, and requires expert guidance.
At Evolve Money, we simplify the complexity and help you confidently navigate the SMSF lending landscape with clarity, compliance, and a tailored investment strategy.
Why Choose Evolve Money for SMSF Lending?
SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE, BACKED BY EXPERIENCE
SMSF lending isn’t your standard home loan. It involves strict structures, lender-specific rules, and ATO compliance obligations. Our team works closely with leading accountants and financial advisers to ensure your lending strategy is sound, compliant, and aligned with your long-term goals.
END-TO-END GUIDANCE
From structuring your SMSF and bare trust correctly, to selecting lenders who suit your investment strategy, to preparing the application and liaising with your accountant — we handle every step so your experience is smooth and stress-free.
A TAILORED, INVESTMENT-FIRST APPROACH
We take the time to understand your investment goals, risk profile, and borrowing capacity. Then we design a lending strategy that supports your SMSF’s long-term growth while protecting its compliance and tax position.
What You Can Use SMSF Lending For
Residential Investment Property
Purchase a house, townhouse or apartment strictly for investment purposes. We’ll guide you through lender restrictions around new builds, off-the-plan, and high-density property.
Commercial Property

Refinancing Existing SMSF Loans
Move your existing SMSF property loan to a more favourable interest rate or lender, subject to structure and compliance checks.

Our Approach
At Evolve Money, we believe the home loan journey should be easy.
And, with the right approach, it can be.
Here’s how our mortgage brokers support you every step of the way →
-
Every great financial journey starts with understanding you.
In this first step, we take the time to learn about your goals, lifestyle, and long-term plans — whether that’s buying your first home, investing in property, or refinancing to create more flexibility.We’ll explore your current financial position, income, commitments, and future aspirations to build a clear picture of what matters most. This conversation helps us identify opportunities, uncover potential challenges, and map out the best lending strategy for your situation. By truly understanding your story, we can recommend the right path forward — one that aligns with your goals today and supports the future you’re building.
-
Once we understand your goals, we move into a detailed review of your financial position. This stage is all about clarity and confidence.
We carefully assess your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities to determine your borrowing capacity and the type of loan structure that suits you best. By comparing your profile against multiple lenders, we can identify which options align with your goals, risk profile, and long-term plans.
Our aim is to help you understand your true borrowing power — and to give you a clear picture of what’s achievable before you start searching for a property or committing to a purchase.
This is where strategy meets preparation, setting a strong foundation for the next step: securing the right loan with the right lender.
-
With a clear understanding of your goals and financial position, we move into strategy — the stage where insight becomes action.
We analyse and compare a wide range of loan options from multiple lenders, considering not just interest rates, but also product features, flexibility, fees, and long-term suitability. Our focus is on building a lending strategy that works for you — not just today, but as your goals evolve.
Whether it’s maximising borrowing capacity, reducing repayments, or structuring your loans for future growth, we’ll design a tailored solution that balances short-term wins with long-term financial confidence.
This step ensures you move forward with a clear, strategic plan — knowing exactly which loan structure supports your journey and why.
-
This is where our expertise truly shines. Once your tailored loan strategy is finalised, we take the reins to prepare, package, and lodge your application with precision and care. Every lender has unique requirements — and because we know exactly what they’re looking for, we ensure your application is structured to highlight your strengths and maximise approval confidence.
We handle every piece of the process — from verifying and compiling documents to managing communication with the lender — so you can stay focused on your next move. Our goal is to make this stage seamless and stress-free, while proactively keeping you updated at every milestone.
At Evolve Money, we see this step as more than just paperwork — it’s about presenting your story in the best possible light, ensuring your goals are understood, and setting you up for the smoothest path to settlement.
-
Once your lender issues conditional approval — essentially their “yes, but” — we step in to guide you through the final stretch. This stage confirms that your application meets the lender’s criteria, pending a few remaining checks such as updated payslips, property valuations, or additional supporting documents.
At Evolve Money, we don’t just pass these requests on — we manage them for you. Our team ensures every condition is clearly explained, every document is gathered promptly, and every response aligns with the lender’s requirements.
This is also where we anticipate and solve potential issues before they arise, maintaining momentum toward your formal approval. You’ll have complete clarity on what’s needed, when it’s due, and how close you are to securing your finance — so you can move forward with confidence.
-
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for — your loan is officially approved! The lender has completed all assessments and confirmed they’re ready to proceed, giving you the green light to move toward settlement.
At Evolve Money, we make sure you understand exactly what your formal approval means — from the terms and conditions to the steps that follow. We’ll walk you through the approval letter in plain language, outlining key dates, lender requirements, and what to expect next.
Our team then works closely with the lender, your conveyancer, and any other parties involved to ensure everything stays on track for settlement. It’s a milestone worth celebrating, and we’re right beside you to make sure the rest of the journey is effortless, clear, and stress-free.
-
Settlement day is where all your hard work comes together — and our team makes sure everything runs like clockwork. We coordinate with your solicitor or conveyancer, the lender, and all relevant parties to finalise the transfer of funds and ensure every document is signed, verified, and ready for completion.
At Evolve Money, we stay one step ahead by tracking key milestones and resolving any last-minute lender or legal queries before they cause delays. You’ll receive clear communication every step of the way, so you know exactly when and how settlement will take place.
Whether you’re collecting the keys to your new home or finalising a refinance, we’re there to make the day seamless, stress-free, and worth celebrating — because this isn’t just a transaction, it’s a milestone in your property journey.
-
At Evolve Money, settlement isn’t the end of the journey — it’s just the beginning. Once your loan has settled, we stay by your side to ensure your finance continues to work hard for you long after the ink has dried.
We proactively monitor your loan, track interest rate movements, and keep you informed about opportunities to save money or access your growing equity. Our post-settlement reviews — typically at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years — ensure your loan remains competitive and aligned with your goals.
Whether it’s exploring a refinance, unlocking equity for renovations or investments, or simply giving you clarity about your current position, we’re here to guide you through every stage. Because at Evolve Money, our role isn’t just to secure your loan — it’s to help you evolve your property journey with confidence and control.
