To add to some of the points already made, IO loans are a popular option with investors as well.
Say you are looking to buy an investment property and rent it out. The purchase price is $100k and you secure it with an IO loan. You can set rent for your tenants to cover the IO payment or even more if you want. 5 years down the line the value of the home is up 50% and you sell for $150k. You just made $50k while someone else made all the payments.
Oversimplification as there are more costs to ownership, down payments, and all that fun stuff but that’s a basic breakdown of why you might get an IO loan on an investment property.
