Wisconsin and Illinois Interest Only Mortgage Loan


SAVE MORE MONEY WITH INTEREST ONLY!

Interest only loan payments are fixed for a set period of time during which the borrower pays only the interest portion of the regular monthly payment. There is no contribution towards the principal during this period. Once the fixed interest period is over, the loan reverts back to the original terms. Now, the monthly payments are adjusted so that the loan amortizes over the remaining mortgage period.

What Are the Pros and Cons of this Type of Loan?

Cons. As previously mentioned, you will not build any equity in your home with this type of mortgage. Essentially, you are leasing your home indefinitely, or until there is a balloon payment, because you are not paying down the principal at all.

Pros. However, for someone with an irregular income (perhaps a smaller base income with significant bonuses once or twice per year) this could be a very workable option. Another reason some borrowers prefer this loan type is when they know they will need to sell within a relatively short period (maybe 2 - 5 years). In this situation, having the least amount invested in the home may make the most sense.

With Interest Only ARMs, borrowers pay only the interest during the initial fixed period of the loan (3 or 5 years)
Fixed rates also available for interest only

Then, payments adjust to fully amortize the mortgage over the remaining term as an adjustable rate mortgage (unless fixed rate is chosen)
