Interest Only Mortgages

Interest only mortgages, or Home Equity Line of Credits, are an excellent choice for property owners wishing to utilize the financing they may draw on their property while paying minimal monthly interest rates based on the current prime.

Interest only mortgages can usually be converted into blended payment products at any time, allowing you to select an amortization length in which the loan will be paid in full.

For property owners who opt for the HELOC, funds may be re-advanced and paid down with no penalties or time constraints imposed, at the discretion of the borrower. Though interest is typically compounded monthly, interest only payments still usually afford less monthly expenditure than a standard loan product.

Interest Only Mortgages:

• Can allow access to financing at a low monthly interest rate.
• Can keep monthly expenditures low for short-term gaps or when waiting for expected finances to come in.
• May be converted to fixed balanced payments when you decide.
