Question by Angel M: Is it worth while to do an Interest only loan when refinancing your home?
There’s a company that’s offering 1.5% APR interest only loan for anyone that has a credit score of 620 or above. They advised that if I take the 0 in savings and invest it, I can use the savings to pay off all of my outstanding debt. In 5 yrs after the loan is over we would do it again but because it’s interest only that I’m paying the amount of the new loan will be more than the original loan. We just need some professional advise.

Have you not heard about all the fuss surround mortgages?
Ok, if you take an interest only loan, you don’t pay any principal. If after a few years of not paying principle you stand a good chance of being upside down in the loan. Meaning you would owe more than the property would sell for. Now if you were going to do this for less than 6 months to 1 year, it might be ok. But don’t risk your investment and equity to save a few bucks now and waste it all later. No Don’t Do An Interest Only Loan.

Question by Jess B: Would getting a lower interest rate loan to pay off credit card be a smart idea?
I have just under ,000 on my card, which has about a 12% interest rate. I’ve never made a late payment and always pay above the minimum on all credit accounts/car payments/student loans. Would looking into getting a lower interest rate loan be a good idea or a naive one? I know personal loans like this are typically harder to come by, but I would like some opinions. Thanks!

If you can get a lower rate, do it! But first, resolve not to use your credit card again or you’ll get into a real quagmire!

Question by ronnieD: How exactly do ‘interest only’ mortgage loans work? When do I pay on the principle of such a loan?
I know APR loans are a bad idea, but how would an interest-only loan work? Would it still be a 30 year note, or do they extend the loan? Would I be able to get a fixed rate with an interest-only mortgage loan?

Best answer:

Answer by Miss Emily
Every loan has an APR, what people refer to as “bad” is an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage).

An interest only loan is usually amoritized over 30yrs. But yes, you are just paying interest only & NOT paying anything towards your principal. If after 30yrs. of paying Just the interest on say a 0K loan,,,, after 30yrs. you would still owe 0K, at which time you would sell the home or just refinance. Most people do not pay interest only on the same loan for 30yrs.

If you have an interest only loan, it is because you couldn’t afford to pay the principal as well when you first got the loan. You should contact the bank who holds your mortgage note & ask if you have a “pre-payment” penalty OR if it would be OK to make some payments towards your principal.

If you’re currently on an adjustable rate interest only loan, it would be better & safer to refinance to a fixed loan payment. Even if it is interest only, just make sure you ARE able to, if you want, to make extra payments towards principal.
