Pros and cons
Pros
- A smaller deposit. You can borrow with 2% down, so you may buy sooner. Under 20%, lenders mortgage insurance usually applies.
- An offset account. Money in it is taken off your balance when interest is worked out, so your savings and pay cut the interest while staying easy to reach.
- Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
- Fixed rates on offer. You can fix for 1 to 5 years if you'd like repayments that don't change for a while.
- Interest only available. Some investors use it to keep repayments down for a few years, though the balance doesn't fall in that time.
Cons
- An early repayment fee. Paying the loan off early or refinancing can cost a fee, which cuts into what you save by repaying sooner.
- A $35 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
