Could a Higher Mortgage Rate Mean a Lower Payment?
Could a Higher Mortgage Rate Actually Mean a Lower Monthly Payment?
It sounds backward, but it's possible with certain interest-only mortgage programs.
Consider a $400,000 mortgage:
• Traditional 30-year loan at 7.00%: $2,661/month
• Interest-only loan at 7.50%: $2,500/month
That's approximately $161 less per month, even with a higher interest rate!
Select non-QM programs offer 10 years of interest-only payments followed by 20 years of principal-and-interest payments.
Interest-only financing isn't right for everyone, but it may provide valuable cash-flow flexibility for qualified borrowers.
