Borrowing and Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements

SMSF, generally, are not allowed to borrow money. A limited recourse borrowing arrangement is an exception. Borrowing and Limited recourse are when an SMSF borrows money to buy an asset. Here, if the SMSF defaults on the loan, the right of the lender is limited to the recovery of the asset, keeping the other SMSF assets protected. A careless investment decisions might postpone a retirement.
