    Macquarie is now offering 5 year fixed IP, P+I, <LVR70% for 3.99% - seems to be the bext 5 year fixed I've seen so far.

    If anyone has a better rate feel free to get in touch as I have an IP from St George im looking to move.

    They're also offering 3.44% variable. Usually I like fixing rates for certainty, but in this economic climate, I would be very surprised if the variable offering wasn't a better deal!

    Anyone know how existing customers can get this rate? I'm on close to 5% on Investor interest only. Would happily switch to P & I for this rate.

    Nope, I only do fixed. Not interested in honeymoon variables that can be changed on a dime.

    That is good as you'll get at the moment on 5 year fixed INV P&I

    The 3.44% rate is <70% LVR owner occupier P&I so won't be that sharp - new INV IO variable prices from 3.94% so worth giving them a call to see what they can do.

    Sorry, I was going off this post: Variable interest rates - what are you paying?

    I didn't realise that he was talking about OO.

    I expect an important qualifier for you Dean would be that the lender also does expat income, most lenders dont, or do it poorly.

    For some reason they see them as risky which is so anti reality

    Rolf is right but Macquarie does have some quirks that you need to be aware of when it comes to expats.

    1. Expat's can only have the Basic Home Loan
    2. Max LVR is 70%
    3. No offset is available
    4. Must of a net asset more than $500,000
    5. Must have a POA

    AMP were 4.24% in April and there has been two rate reductions since, they passed on the first in full and now second only 10 points dodgy f#$%ers

    I think you may be misinterpreting that post. Pretty sure AMP have announced they are passing on 0.2% of the latest RBA cut

    Rates changes - AMP

    I'm certain last month reduction brought down IO variable 80% LVR rate down to 3.99% from the 4.24% confirmed by my broker, so the latest RBA drop is in question

    Hmm, and another 0.2% effective 22nd July per the AMP announcement in the link above.

    When do fixed rates change on the back of the July announcement? Looking at CBA.

    ANZ moved their fixed rates on Friday, so I assume the other majors won't be too far behind in terms of timing.

    Think I jumped the gun and fixed too soon. Fixed a number of Inv IO loans from variable to fixed with Westpac a couple of months ago. Went from 4.75 var to 4.19 fixed and was pretty pleased with myself (limited refinance options due to serviceability). With the last 2 drops by Westpac of .35% and .3% would now have been at 4.1% var IO with another potential cut to come!!!!

    Anyone got any pearls of wisdom to help me feel better :(

    It was the right decision with the data at the time, so be pleased with yourself

    NO one knows the future

    My IO with CBA expired and they slugging me with 5.54%. :(. Interested to find what others are paying on IO variable with CBA @ 90% LVR.
