So from your experience in the industry, what's the most common or the biggest mistakes you see people that are buying properties through their self-managed super fund make?

They're all thinking about retirement income and they all chase yield and they'll buy an inferior asset for the sake of getting an extra 0.2%, 0.3% net yield.

The yield, I'll buy a property at 4% yield if I think it's going to give me a better ROI in the next 10 years.

Yeah, again, I think the biggest mistake that I've seen from an SMSF commercial finance perspective, people want that cash flow.

The reality is, why? Why would you not just go to 80% and put the extra 20% in the offset account? that can reduce your interest, number one.
