Good to know its not illegal.
The variable part it 100% offset already so not paying any interest at all. Switching that part to IO will have no affect lol.
Thought about breaking the fixed loan but that will incur high penalty fees so ive decided to wait it out.
Richard – with IO equity loan, that…[Read more]
