What mortgage type should I get for buy-to-let: fixed vs variable, interest-only vs repayment?
Quick Answer
For buy-to-let, consider an interest-only mortgage initially, which keeps monthly payments lower, and then decide between fixed or variable rates based on your risk tolerance and market outlook. Most investors lean towards fixed for stability.
