There are obviously reasons why banks and lenders have pulled out of the market and
why some governments have disallowed interest only loans in their states. Still, with the right borrower, under the right set of circumstances an interest only loan can be the perfect fit. Always be sure to consult a seasoned and licensed mortgage professional before making any home financing decision. Only consumers who are educated and confident money managers should consider interest only loans as an alternative. Consumers should also make sure that they are in solid financial footing and that they could handle the monthly principal and interest payments if their interest only period ends and they found in themselves in a position where they could not refinance (i.e. being between jobs).
