Lower Payments to Start
During the interest-only period your payment covers just the interest, keeping your early monthly cost lower than a standard loan.
A lower payment to start, with room to breathe. For an initial period you pay only the interest — keeping early payments down and freeing up cash flow — before the loan shifts to regular principal and interest. Best with a clear plan for the years ahead.
An interest-only mortgage is a loan where, for an initial period, your monthly payment covers just the interest — not the principal. That makes the early payments lower than a standard loan. When the interest-only period ends, the loan converts to regular principal-and-interest payments for the rest of the term. It's a tool for managing cash flow, not a shortcut — because you're not paying down principal during that window, it works best when you have a clear plan for the higher payment that follows.
