    Do you think its foolish to have a fixed interest rate mortgage for the next five years?

    Feb 05, 2009 by mrchitrade | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    Fixed Rates cost more on repayments but secure your budget and if interest rate go up but highly unlikely right now.
    Should I go for variable? yes I know if rate goes up I pay more but if it doesnt for the next five years I will pay more anyway

    Take a look at your budget and ask yourself if you can truly afford to take the risk of going for a variable rate (i.e. if interest rates go up, could you afford repayments or would you struggle).

    If you can't afford to take that risk then

    The rate is going to go up at some point. Near historic lows can't last for ever.

    I'd lock it as low as possible now and that way you are set.

    How best to invest $1000 in something that is fixed rate interest?

    Nov 04, 2010 by Kimmy121 | Posted in Investing

    I am a college student and have $1000 dollars to invest. I could do up to two years, and would like a fixed rate interest-not really interested in stock market. How do I find out what the best interest rate is available to me? What are my best options

    If you don't want to risk your $1000, then I'd say buy a CD (Certificate of Deposit) from a local area Bank. Its backed by the FDIC, so if the bank fails, your money is covered.

    But if you go out and buy bonds as a fixed rate investment,

    Why does it cost so much to get a fixed interest rate mortgage in ireland?

    Aug 04, 2006 by nothingness | Posted in Credit

    I recently visited the US. Everyone I know there that has a mortgage has gotten a fixed interest rate. There is virtually no difference in cost between fixed and variable rate mortgages. You can also fix for 30 years no problem. In Ireland it's almost

    Some of the differences are due to the UK.

    In the UK, getting a fixed rate mortgage involves a fee to reserve the funds. The big lenders pay tiny reservation fees but get to charge a few hundred pounds. Economies of scale and all that.

    Home buyers warned against locking in interest rates

    21.05.12

    Latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows the number of fixed home loan rates in March was 14.5 per cent - the highest proportion since May 2008.

    Comparison website RateCity today urged mortgage holders to be cautious before committing to locked home loan rates.
