Lower Your Monthly Payments With Interest-Only Loans
Fixed-rate mortgages with interest-only payment options can be the unequivocal best choice for some borrowers. They are designed to offer a lower monthly payment, as you are not required to pay anything toward the principal. Because of the lower payment, the interest-only loan may mean that you can qualify for more home – an important feature if you can’t satisfy the documentation requirements for all of your income.
The best thing about an interest-only program is how the minimum monthly payment goes down as you reduce what you owe on the mortgage. On a normal amortizing mortgage, principal reductions shorten the term of the mortgage but the payment stays the same.
On an interest-only mortgage, the interest rate may still be fixed. But as you pay down the mortgage balance (maybe from an inheritance or sale of a property), the minimum payment goes down with it.
This type of loan is a good choice for borrowers who receive significant bonus or commission income that could be applied toward reducing the principal balance in large chunks. It’s also a very good choice for borrowers who will be selling other property to pay down what they owe, because the minimum payment will go down automatically with the principal reduction.
Interest-only programs are available across the full spectrum, from fixed rates for 30 years to monthly adjustable.
