Why would you ever get an interest only mortgage?

1.44K viewsEconomicsOther

From what I understand about mortgages, which isn’t a lot at all, I just don’t see any scenario where an interest only mortgage is a good idea.

You pay it off for let’s say 20 years and you still have the full balance remaining. What am I missing?

you get a lower payment, so easier to qualify for the loan

you are not paying down the loan, but you might expect the property to appreciate and sell in a short time

Basically you don’t want to miss out
