Why would you ever get an interest only mortgage?

1.47K 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?

It may be cheaper than renting the equivalent and you don’t plan to be there very long. Also if you think the value might go up significantly over a few years you could make money off of it. This is especially true if you are flipping the house.
