Plug in Rental Manager and keep the property manager’s fee in your super.
Move your SMSF to My SMSF, manage the fund’s rental property yourself and save the 5% to 9% of rent a property manager typically charges. More of the rent stays in your fund for retirement.
What a property manager costs your fund
Agents charge a percentage of the rent every week, plus a letting fee each time the property is re-let. Rental Manager is one fixed fee.
| Example: property renting at $650 a week | Cost to the fund each year |
|---|---|
| Property manager at the national average of about 7.5% of rent | $2,535 |
| My SMSF Rental Manager, self-managed | $330 |
| Stays in your super | $2,205 a year |
Example only. Management fees average about 7.5% of weekly rent nationally, from around 5.8% in NSW to 8.7% in WA and Tasmania and agents usually add GST and a letting fee of one to two weeks’ rent (LocalAgentFinder, 2026). Self-managing means you do the work an agent would do: finding and dealing with the tenant, inspections and repairs.

Rental Manager: common questions
Who can use Rental Manager?
My SMSF clients who hold a rental property in their fund. It is included with Gold care and costs $330 per property per year on Bronze and Silver care.
Can I manage my SMSF’s rental property myself?
Yes. Trustees can manage the fund’s property without an agent, provided everything is done at arm’s length and properly documented: a written lease in the trustee’s name, rent at market rate paid into the fund’s bank account and insurance in the fund’s name. Residential property held by the fund cannot be rented to a member or a relative.
Is the $330 per property or per fund?
Per property, per financial year. A fund with two rental properties pays for each one. Gold care clients pay nothing extra.
Can my tenant do the property review?
Yes. Send the tenant a secure link by SMS or email. They agree to the review, then walk through the same checklist with their phone camera. There is nothing to install and no login. The link expires after 21 days and you are emailed when the review is submitted.
Which states and territories are covered?
All of them. The tenancy checklist follows the rules for the state or territory the property is in and links to that state’s official forms.
Does My SMSF hire or pay tradespeople?
No. You connect your own Airtasker account, choose who to hire and pay them from the fund. My SMSF never hires or pays on a client’s behalf.
