| Interest only mortgage
loans are a terrific way to keep your mortgage payments
lower during the first years of the loan and enable you to buy more
home for the money. There are a variety of different interest only
loan programs available, including variable rate interest only loans
that may adjust every six months. But with economists predicting a rise in
interest rates over the next few years, the best program currently
on the market is the 10 year fixed rate interest only loan.
The interest rate of this loan is fixed in advance for all 30
years of the loan. The first 10 years of the loan the payments are
interest only. Principal and interest payments are made for
the remaining 20 years of the loan, and the principal balance is
amortized over 20 years.
For example:
The loan amount is $200,000 at a fixed interest rate of 5.75%.
For the first 10 years the payment is $958.33 which is the interest
only payment. For the remaining 20 years of the loan the payment
would be $1404.17 including both interest and principal. (Taxes and
insurance are not included in the preceding payments but would need
to be added on.)
