There are a few things you need to keep in mind regarding interest rates and your investment properties.
Locking in a fixed rate means you know what your repayments will be. This makes budgeting easier. You may consider fixing on all or part of your investment loan. Any interest paid on your property investment loan may be deductible from your taxable income. The greater the increase in interest rates the higher the potential tax deduction. If interest rates rise, investors generally increase the rent to cover the shortfall. It is important to consider interest rates when establishing your property investment strategy. This is something ParkTrent can advise you on.
