Expert review
The CUA Accelerate Variable Home Loan has options for principal and interest or interest-only repayments, with different rates. It also has options for investors and owner-occupiers. You can use it for the construction of a home or investment property.
The Accelerate Variable mortgage comes with a 100% offset account. This makes it the more "premium" mortgage option when compared to the CUA Balanced Variable, which is a similar product with slightly lower rates but only a partial offset account.
