Definition: Fixed Interest Rate loans are loans in which the interest rate charged on the loan will remain fixed for that loan’s entire term, no matter what market interest rates do. This will result in your payments being the same over the entire term.
Pros
- Payment is the same every month
- No Balloon Payment due at the end
Cons
- Higher monthly payment
- Interest rate remains the same even if rates drop.
