5 Year Fixed or 10 Year Fixed?
Hey team!
My building loan is coming up for a refinance. I have the chance to do so at either a 5 or 10 year fixed over a 30 year amortization. Five year for 4.75% and 10 year at 5.25%. My current intent is to hold it for the long term.
Would you refi at the 5 or 10 year rate? Curious why.
Thank you in advance

I would lock in for 10 years. Yes it's a higher rate but you lock in major expense. Rate could go up or down from here.
