Repayment or Interest Only. Which mortgage is right for me?
David shares his perspective on repayment and interest-only mortgages and explains what his current strategy is. With an interest-only mortgage over time inflation can come to your rescue and with the pandemic causing a massive shock to the economic system, some expert opinions say that it will be inflation that will ultimately eat away at the debt. The value of property goes up over time, rents go up over time but in effect, the value of the mortgage is less over time meaning inflation could be the magic element for your property portfolio moving forward.
