What are SMSF property investments?
A Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is one of Australia’s fastest growing, most popular and successful investment options, as it allows investors to take full control of their own investment choices. It allows investors to have independence and flexibility to drive their own investment decisions, capital return, growth strategies and performance.
As a leading investment firm with an unrivalled track record of positive investment performance, Sentinel Property Group offers a range of services including catering specifically for Self Managed Super Funds property investment.
Sentinel investors receive dependable monthly returns paid purely from rental income from its properties. As well as these monthly returns, Sentinel investors also receive special capital return payments on revaluations and capital growth returns on divestment. This is a highly attractive and sought-after combination for anyone looking at investing super in property.
The whole point of Self Managed Super Fund property investment is to have greater control over your own investment growth strategies. It is therefore important for investors to thoroughly research all the different options available, and make sure that their chosen investments deliver more than the widely accepted mediocre returns that far too many investors are too readily accepting as ‘the norm’.
Understated but promises great returns
Commercial property investment is one of the least well known, understood and most understated of all investment options, particularly when compared to residential real estate and share market investment. However, commercial property investment has been shown to consistently outperform all other investment vehicles and Sentinel Property Group is renowned as the industry leader in this field.
Sentinel allows anyone investigating the option of investing superannuation in property to enjoy the benefits of direct commercial property investment. Investors have the opportunity for direct commercial property ownership, rather than a share in a listed Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (AREIT). Sentinel builds wealth for SMSF investors by facilitating direct commercial property ownership in its growing national portfolio of commercial property investments in the retail, commercial office and industrial sectors.
