Two loans that are popular are: 3 Year Interest-Only Refinancing Loans and 10/30 Year Interest-Only Refinancing Loans.
3 Year Interest-Only Loans are popular because they allow you to fix the rate for the first three years of the mortgage, and it's interest only feature means that your overall monthly payment can drop to 50% of your current mortgage payment if you are on a 30 year fixed mortgage payment. Interest rates are incredibly low, often times in the 3% range, and there are caps on these loans so the interest rate can only increase up to a maximum of 5% or 6% above the starting rate. The 3 Year interest only refinancing loans are great loans for the borrower looking to minimize the monthly payment while still securing a fixed rate on your interest and not risking negative amortization. Also, the 3 Year interest only refinancing loans typically come without a prepayment penalty so you can refinance later if you think it's rates are rising too quickly.
10/30 Year Interest-Only Loans are popular for borrowers looking for fixed payments for 30 years, but who want a interest only feature on their loans so that their overall payment will decrease. With the 10/30 year interest only mortgage loans, the first 10 years of the mortgage are interest only, and last 20 are principal and interest so you end up paying off the entire mortgage in 30 years. This program provides low monthly payments, and maximum stability. Some borrowers are eligible for no closing cost loans, which means you get lower monthly payments with no upfront costs. Note that 10/30 year interest only loans typically carries a slightly higher rate than the regular 30 year fixed, but it's monthly payments are still as much as 35% lower.
Here's an example: Let's say you still owe $100,000 on your mortgage and your interest rate is 6.5%. Your monthly payment is $745, not including any taxes or insurance. Then, if you refinanced and got a rate of 5.875% on a 10/30 year interest only loans, your new monthly payment would be $489.00 for the first 10 years, and $709 for the last 20 years, presuming you did not make any extra payments during the first 10 years. We typically recommend that borrowers make extra monthly payments on the 10/30 year interest only loans when and if they can afford to. When an extra payment is made, it goes towards building equity and reducing the principal balance on your mortgage and when you lower your principal balance, you also reduce the monthly interest that you are paying during the interest only period, so your payment actually goes down. As you can see in this scenario, it's possible for a borrower to save up to 35% on your monthly payment using the 10/30 year interest only loans.
