SMSF trustees that have rezoned business real properties may suffer from asset valuation issues and have been advised to accumulate market evidence.

An ex-property developer who defrauded SMSF investors has lost an appeal against his conviction.

SMSFs run the risk of having a fully paid property liquidated if a bare trust servicing multiple assets under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement is being used.

SMSFs using contributions strategies to fund a property development may still trip over tax rules that are yet to be clarified.

SMSFs considering property development should map out the transactions required to avoid being accused of conducting a business within the fund.
