Interest only mortgages are a less common type of home loan that many homeowners choose to begin the home ownership process with. As the name implies, borrowers with an interest only mortgage do not pay down their mortgage balance with their monthly payments they only pay interest. This obviously results in a smaller monthly payment. However equity will not be established in the home to use for the future.
If you intend to live in an area where there is rapid appreciation. You can still make money on the sale of your home if this appreciation continues once you move in. Although you will have no equity in your home when you go to sell with an interest only mortgage. Your home may be worth more money and you will still profit. The challenge in making money in an area where there has been appreciation is dependant on how long you are willing to hold out at a higher sale price that may take longer to sell. Your real estate agent should handle these details with you to establish a reasonable sale price.
