Drawing from his extensive experience over the past 20 years, Troy highlights the complexities involved in managing an SMSF and shares cautionary tales of those who have tried to navigate this process without proper guidance. He emphasizes the importance of establishing the SMSF correctly, including ensuring the deed allows for borrowing and that assets are purchased in the fund's name.
