587 | Higher Interest Rates: Fix, Float or Hold Your Nerve?
About this episode
Rates are back in the spotlight… and with them comes the big question:
👉 Should you fix your loan?
In this episode, Ben sits down with mortgage experts Luke Oxenham and Kirsty “KD” Dunphey to unpack what rising interest rates actually mean for:
- Borrowing power
- Mortgage jail
- Fixed vs variable decisions
- Investor strategy in a rising-rate cycle
Because just because the bank says you can borrow it… doesn’t mean you should.
