Split Home Loans: Fixed + Variable Rate Loans
This type of loan setup is a way of hedging your bets. If you are unsure as to whether interest rates are going up or down, you can choose a Split Rate Loan.
With this type of loan, you nominate how much of your home loan you would like to be secured with a fixed mortgage interest rate and how much of your home loan (the remaining amount) you would like to put on a variable rate.
A Split Home Loan is a cautious way of borrowing.
