The downside is obviously increased total interest payment over the life term of the loan.A 20 year loan will obviously have the opposite effect.My question is, given that my strategy is "buy-to-let", am I correct in my thinking that the advantage of more robust cashflow from day 1 with a 30 year loan is more desirable than the lower total interest payment over a 20 year period?
