An interest-only mortgage gives borrowers reduced monthly payments during the initial period, creating financial flexibility for strategic planning or variable-income situations.
An interest-only mortgage allows borrowers to pay only the interest portion of the loan for an initial period—typically 5 to 10 years—before transitioning to full principal-and-interest payments. This structure results in significantly lower monthly payments during the early years of homeownership.
Interest-only loans are ideal for borrowers with variable income, those planning to sell or refinance before principal payments begin, or buyers who want to free up cash flow for investments, business growth, or lifestyle flexibility. These programs are typically offered through non-QM lenders and may be paired with ARM loan structures.
