Interest-Only Mortgage Benefits
Control the terms of your mortgage. With an interest-only mortgage, you can choose to pay the interest only or make a principle payment amount. This customization is helpful for borrowers with fluctuating income who want more control of their terms. Benefits of an Interest-Only Mortgage:
- Offers initial interest-only payment options
- Allows for flexible monthly payments during the initial interest-only term
- Gives borrowers the opportunity to make principal payments when they choose
- Custom loan tailored for specific needs
What Is an Interest-Only Mortgage?
An Interest-Only Mortgage is a home loan that gives you the option to pay only the interest on the principal amount for a set period of time. After the interest-only term is over, the payment converts to a principal-and-interest payment that is fully amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage.

Things to Consider with Interest-Only Mortgages
Interest-Only Mortgages can provide some unique benefits, but they are not right for everyone.
Things to be conscious of when considering an interest-only option:
- The interest-only payment does not pay down the principal balance.
- The monthly payment following the interest-only period will be higher than that of a fully amortized loan that was originated at the same time
- The monthly payment will increase after the initial interest-only term ends.
