After nearly two decades, the SMSF lending market has matured into a stable and well-regulated segment – yet complexity and misconceptions persist. Bluestone Home Loans head of specialised distribution, Richard Chesworth, joins host Keith Ford to break down the nuances of limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBAs).

From redrawing for property repairs to understanding offset structures and pre-2018 grandfathering rules, Chesworth highlights that success in SMSF lending depends as much on precision and teamwork as it does on opportunity.

Listen as they discuss:

  • How advisers can work through the complexity that still exists in SMSF borrowing.
  • What technical traps remain and how redraws, offsets, and refinancing can trigger compliance risks.
  • The importance of collaborating closely with lenders and prioritising expertise and structure over rate alone.
