To help us understand the variable and fixed home investment loan terms better, Mortgage Choice lists the benefits and disadvantages of both.

The pros of the Fixed are :

  • The repayment is steady for the definitive term
  • Borrowers have confidence
  • Budgeting on a long-term basis makes it simple for borrowers

The cons of the Fixed are :

  • The rate of interest is a little higher
  • The loan features aren’t aplenty
  • The chance of variable rates falling over the set term

The pros of the Variable are :

  • The rate of the interest is a little lower
  • The loan features are lots
  • The payments are lower should IRs increase

The cons of the Variable are :

  • Payments could be higher should IRs increase
  • Budgeting for a long term can be tough
  • With rate rumination, an absence of sense of security may develop
