It can be daunting applying for a mortgage, and even more daunting determining how much you have to pay for the loan. Many people find this difficult. Financial advisors and banks will provide guidance, but usually only for the products you have chosen and will not necessarily provide guidance about risks or build in predictions about inflation or change in interest rates.

One type of loan is an interest only loan and this article will deal with the basis of such a loan. These types of loans are available in both the US and UK and the financial principles are similar, although they are primarily investment vehicles and not usual for domestic property. In Canada they are restricted and only available for the first few months of a loan.

Interest Only Mortgages

These loans involve just paying the interest on the loan amount (which is a proportion of the property value) over a period of time, and not paying off its capital value, sometimes called the "principal". In some countries these mortgages are illegal or can only be obtained only under special circumstances, because they mean that at the end of the loan period the borrower has to fund the original cost of the property from other sources, or risks losing it. For an investment mortgage, such as a buy to let mortgage (jn the UK) it may not matter – the aim is to purchase a property, obtain rent from it for a few years, and then sell at a profit, and not retain it for ever. However for personal home loans it can be dangerous unless well thought out.
