Ep #71 – When to choose Interest Only vs. P&I January 22, 2023

Today we discuss the difference between principal & interest (P&I) and interest only (IO) repayments.

So there is no one size fits all prescription but a good understanding of the fundamentals will help guide you when deciding what is best for you.

Enjoy the show!
