    Hi There,
    Currently, my IPs interest rate is 5.56% pa, one month later, after the money moon period is 6.57% pa.with CBA. one of finace brokers suggested me that If i agreeed to refinance my IPs changing to AMP, he would redund the dischange penalty and all refinancing fees to me, that involved $2250, 1st yr rate is 5.59%, 2nd yr is 6.55%, then i would save abount $7,000 – $10,000. If it’s the case, both of us , me & the broker, are in win win situation.[strum][strum][strum]

    What do you guys think? your any input is welcome. [inlove][inlove]

    Hi Julian,
    You should consider the long term implications of refinancing from one lender with a discount introduction rate to another lender with an introduction rate, The revert rate after the honeymoon period being the main consideration,

    I assume you would qualify for a discounted variable rate loan with better rates than the 6.55% revert rate,

    Keep in mind, interest rates should not be the primary reason for choosing a lender, Your long term investment plan and choosing the lenders that will accommodate your investment strategy will play an important role,
    Regards

    I agree with Steven. Start with the end in mind and work backwards from there. I’m a novice but I’ve learned that structuring, personal saving habits, loan restrictions, personal goals, etc should all be considered. Not just kick backs, discounts, etc. They may cost you far more over the long haul.
    Cheers,
