Let’s make rate types less confusing and more aligned with your lifestyle, income, and financial goals. Choosing between fixed, variable or split rate loans can feel like trying to predict the future. But it doesn’t have to be daunting. When you understand how each option works, especially through the lens of healthcare work, the choice becomes much clearer.

Choosing the right repayment type could save (or cost) you thousands and it all depends on where you’re at in your career or property journey. When it comes to repaying your home loan, you typically have two options: interest-only, or principal and interest (P&I). They may sound similar, but they have very different impacts on your cash flow, equity, and long-term goals.
