Pros and cons
Pros
- Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
- Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.
- Fixed rates on offer. You can fix for 2 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
- Higher upfront fees. $1,598, above the typical $600, which adds to the cash you need at settlement.
- No offset account. Your savings can't reduce the interest unless you pay them into the loan.
- An early repayment fee. Paying the loan off early or refinancing can cost a fee, which cuts into what you save by repaying sooner.
