A different repayment structure for a different objective — with the end of the interest-only period understood from the outset.
With an interest-only loan, repayments during the interest-only period generally cover interest rather than reducing the principal. Some property investors use this structure for cash-flow management.
Interest-only is not automatically better or worse than principal and interest. It depends on the objective — and the long-term structure should be understood before choosing it.
What to consider
- Interest cost over the loan life
- Loan term and repayment changes
- The end of the interest-only period
- Lender policy and eligibility
- How it fits the investment strategy
