Why would you ever get an interest only mortgage?

1.42K 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?

Big thing you seem to be missing (at least in terms of how you asked your question) is that after 20 years, you’ve had a place to live for 20 years, which is a valuable asset in itself.
