Is it worth investing in Property with your Super?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been reading lots of excellent advice and I was wondering if anyone can spread some light on the following?

Is it worth putting accumulated Superannuation money (under $100,000) into a property so you can own it outright and have managed in a super managed fund?

I have been told it’s not worth doing this unless you have at least $150,000 to spend.

My idea is to buy the investment outright, pay the outgoing costs on the property + the yearly fees to a managed fund manager and in 10 – 15yrs time (when I retire) be able to sell the property & inherit captial growth. I understand in the meatime there will be maintenance costs and perhaps these will come out of the earnings from the unit or my pocket!

Any help on this is appreciated
