    Why anyone would want to fix at these times of financial crisis is beyond comprehension.

    With these interest rates the profitability of our properties will have our debt reduced to Zero....then we will not care what happens to the interest rate :)

    Generally speaking, even after this rate cut the fixed rates are still lower!

    Would this be a logical thought process:

    lower rates = increase serviceability calcs = more lending = higher buyer demand = time to sell some properties?

    P&I INV is way too high but may depend on loan size. OO is okay - not mind blowing but okay.

    I am looking to fix for peace of mind and stability. Looking to increase cash flow in the short term fixed Investor IO rates are pretty good to help with this.
    I'm no guru but I cannot see the banks passing on that much of future rate cuts. Could be wrong, but that is my reasoning.

    2.78% (CPR 3.65%) investor fix 2yr P&I
    2.88% (CPR 3.75%) investor interest only fix 2yr

    When the RBA introduces Quantitative Easing (i.e. electronic money printing), a bank's funding costs will turn negative as in many western countries, and you may as well get a 1% mortgage rate or even less!

    Never fixing again.

    Thought 4.14% was unbeatable three years ago with Virgin Money.

    I just fixed a whole bunch of loans all between 3.09% and 3.39%. While there are lower rates, I'm happy with it. Whether I'm paying $10k more or less in interest per year doesn't really make that much difference in the big scheme of things.

    After rate cut

    One of the big fours
    Owner occupied Principle and interest PI - 2.99% full offset account
    Investment, Principle and interest PI - 3.39%

    I pay no monthly or annual fees for any accounts including credit cards and have full withdrawal facility.

    Any other providers cheaper?
