How does a low interest rate affect investment? In the end you still need to return the principle so is the idea that it just offers you smaller loan payments (ie. More time for your investment to succeed)?

More capital is looking for returns and is effectively willing to take more risk (like funding VC startups) to find those returns since “safe” investments return almost nothing.
