When you discover only interest is paid first on any mortgage. You then realize that to set up this option on any loan has its advantages. The payment is lower on a interest only loan that with a fixed or adjustable rate loan and this type of program will also give you some options.
You can take advantage of the lower payment and as you can afford to, add a little extra to the payment and it will reduce your loan balance quickly because the interest portion is calculated on the unpaid balance, therefor anything you pay over and above comes directly off the principle. Using one of our mortgage calculators, you can figure that using a interest only loan correctly, a mortgage can be paid off in as little as 15 years.
