Commonwealth Bank has slashed rates on some of its investor home loans for the third time in just over a month, a move that's reigniting competition in the investor mortgage space. Following two cuts in May, CBA's latest round of rate cuts has trimmed its Digi Home Loan rates for new investor customers by between 0.07 and 0.12 percentage points. The principal and interest (P&I) rate is now down to 5.69 per cent and the interest-only option to 5.95 per cent.
