Interest Only Jumbo Mortgages
An Interest Only Jumbo allows a borrower to
pay only the interest due on the monthly
mortgage payment. For example a $400,000 loan amount
with an interest rate of 7.5%, the regular
monthly principal and interest payment would be
$2796.85. With an Interest Only Mortgage, with
the same scenario as above, the monthly payment
due would be $2500.00. This is only the interest
due on the loan. The principal is never paid
down.
What are the benefits of the Interest Only
Mortgage?
It allows a borrower to qualify for more home.
The borrower qualifies for the mortgage based on
the interest only payment. This type of loan is
appealing to the homeowner who wants to make the
lowest payments possible on their home as a
short term solution to a tight cash situation or
wants to use all available cash for some other
project. With a property that is appreciating in
value the owner could have a substantial
increase in equity even though the mortgage
principal has not been reduced.
