If this is what it is, are you a spender or a saver? If you're a good saver, look at it. If you're a big spender, I'd steer away from these things as they can get you into a world of trouble. That's your potential downside, being that you asked about that. Does this sound like what you were told. Or might be something entirely different. This product is also called an Australian mortgage. It started in Australia. It's called an Australian mortgage for another reason; used improperly and you can be burned, just like the big fires down under these days.  |
Sounds about right - broker in fact told me the same thing - if I'm confident in my abilities to save than its a great deal.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
