  • I am surprised that you say to get into a variable interest rate. I always thought it was safest to get the lowest possible fixed rate for your mortgage. Doesn't a variable rate leave you at great risk?

    Thanks,

  • Good question! The trouble with the fixed rate is that it ties you into a deal with the bank. This is ok if you don't decide you want to sell during that fixed rate - then you will pay massive penalties. If you have a variable rate - you are free to move and change - sometimes it is best to have that freedom in these volatile times. This is a big subject and really has to be decided on a case by case basis. Thanks!
