Interest-Only Loan

An interest-only loan is a type of loan in which the borrower is required to pay only the interest on the principal balance for a specified initial period, keeping monthly payments low.

What is an Interest-Only Loan?

After the interest-only period ends, the borrower must either pay off the principal in a lump sum or begin making amortized payments that include both principal and interest.
