SMSF Property Investment on the Sunshine Coast

On 12 August 2026, Meridan Plains sat in both of FAA's live feeds at once. FAA managed 6/1 Ellis Way at $720 a week, and had 30/21 Ellis Way listed for sale. Two different properties on the same street. One FAA manages for a landlord. The other FAA is marketing for a seller. The two addresses have nothing to do with each other. Whether any property suits a fund is a decision for your SMSF specialist, not for FAA.

Both feeds move every 15 minutes, so check the properties FAA manages right now and what FAA has for sale before you rely on either address. A street address on a live feed is checkable in one click, which is a harder kind of proof than a sentence about a region.

A fund that owns residential property can't have anyone connected to it living there. It has to be leased to an unrelated tenant. Which makes the size of the rental market the practical question here.

Read the date on these figures before using them. It's the 2021 Census, so it's five years old, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics counts the whole local government area, not one suburb. It isn't a current rent. More than one home in four across the region is rented, and that's the market a fund's property has to find a tenant in.

FAA Property manages residential investment property across the Sunshine Coast, including Meridan Plains, from our Maroochydore office. Across South East Queensland it sources residential investment property, new-build, house-and-land and off-market. There's no second office, on the Sunshine Coast or anywhere else.

Does FAA manage SMSF-owned property here? Yes. What that involves is answered in full on the investment property management page.

In FAA's own published words:

FAA Property earns a commission from builders and developers when a property purchase proceeds. The strategy session itself costs you nothing. Because we're paid by the supply side, you should weigh our recommendations with that in mind.

Bring the fund's questions to a strategy call. FAA can model what a property costs to hold and connect you with specialist SMSF accountants and solicitors; compliance stays with them.
