HYBRID ADJUSTABLE-RATE MORTGAGES (ARMS)

What Is a Interest Only Mortgage?

This type of mortgage allows you to pay only interest charged every month for the loan period. This means you don’t have to pay back the borrowed amount until the end of the term. As a borrower, you should know that interest only mortgages offer lower payments for a while, they also lead to a big jump in payments when the interest period ends.
