Family Trusts and Property

Can my family trust buy a residential investment property with my super fund as tenants in common. Also, can my family trust finance its share through a loan, while my super fund pays for its share in cash?

A: Yes, this can be done as long as the property purchased isn’t used for security over the loan. There should also be an owners agreement detailing responsibilities and actions and what happens when either party wants to exit the investment. Finally, property can’t be rented to relatives.
