You would be investing your super in property yourself as trustee, not the administrator, but they would be able to advise you on how to do it. I bought investment properties outside of a SMSF over the years, prior to SMSFs being popular or well-known, thinking that SMSFs were for 'rich' people, and that it would be too complicated, and too expensive, it was outside of my comfort zone. Knowing what I know now, eg, how easy it was to set up the SMSF, how flexible it is, and the tax advantages, I regret not buying my investment properties within a SMSF, because now that I am retired (working less than 10 hours per week is considered retired for SMSFs purposes), and am wanting to sell my properties, I have to pay CGT. My SMSF is in Pension mode now, and the one big advantage of holding property within a SMSF in Pension mode is that when you sell, you don't pay any CGT. I missed the boat with holding property within a SMSF, but making up for it with share trading within the SMSF in Pension mode. Same concept - no CGT on sale.
