Islamic Investment in Property Through Your Super

Are you ready to invest in residential or commercial property through your Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF)? Afiyah offers a Sharia-compliant pathway to financing your investment property, aligning your financial ambitions with your ethical values.

 

How Can Islamic Home Finance Help You?

Research shows that one in three Australian Muslims choose to keep significant cash savings at home instead of taking out a mortgage due to the lack of permissible financing options.

Since conventional financial products and services are most likely exposed to a lot of interest income, it creates a conflict with Islamic finance beliefs. This puts extra pressure on Muslims looking to purchase their first home as they are left with few options.

Challenges of Property Investment Financing

Investing in property through an SMSF can seem complex, especially when seeking financing that adheres to Islamic principles. From navigating Sharia-compliant investment options to understanding the intricacies of property financing, the process requires careful consideration. Afiyah simplifies this journey for you.
