Understanding Realty
Interest Only Mortgages and the
Young Professional
Here is one of the successful candidates for the interest only
mortgage. The young professional that is eager to get out into the
home ownership market. He or she is equipped with some level of
mortgage product comprehension, and a guarantee of increasing
income.
Today’s mortgage market has seen a tremendous growth in mortgage
packages, variety and borrowing levels. The interest only mortgage
option, once thought to have gone the way of the Edsel automobile,
is back today and in use by the masses; in fact the mortgage market
has seen an increase in the interest only mortgages from just a mere
sliver of the market a few years ago, to around 23% of the market
share currently. That’s huge growth, especially in the mortgage
industry in less than 5 years.
Who will benefit most from this type of mortgage loan product?
What type of consumer is it that would want an interest only
mortgage? Well, you will get several answers, but only one or two
will be correct. The really smart and savvy borrower, with clearly
established goals and objectives that include the interest only
option, the young couple that are moving up the corporate ladder and
won’t be in the area over three years, and then there’s the most
often sited consumer: This consumer is buying a home with a fairly
limited budget and wants as much home as they can possibly buy. They
generally fit into the category of the couple with children, who
need room and who plan to be homeowners at that location for a
while. The other particularly successful candidate for these types
of loans are the young real estate investors, who are profit
creators, and won’t retain the property long enough to warrant
making a large capital investment.
As you examine the young professional, his or her situation is
conducive to minimal investment requirement. He or she won’t be in
this job position or this home over 5 years, and the most likely,
the company is willing to include a buy back clause in the
employment contract; how can you lose? All the right elements are in
place for this to be a great marriage of needs and wants being
satisfied with one package. In cases such as this, the interest only
mortgage option is a great route to take.
What about the young couple with the growing family? Are they the
right candidates for such a purchase? Most often, the answer would
be yes. They’re budgets are limited, for the present, and their
family is outgrowing the present home. Especially if one of the
spouses holds a professional degree, they should have no trouble
growing into a larger mortgage payment within a few years. The
interest only option gives individuals 3 to 5 years to achieve an
income increase, then the principal and interest payment level kicks
in, but their income will then support a higher payment.
The real estate investors, commercial developers, land brokers,
and any other investor that operates within this realm of business,
is a potentially successful candidate for the interest only option.
This person, or business group, doesn’t intend to retain the
property long enough for there to be a need for capital investment.
They need the capital free to make the changes, required planned
construction, or to advertise the property for sale.
These are the potentially successfully and beneficial
relationships that exist with the interest only option. Are these
the only individuals who secure interest only mortgages? Definitely
not. Regardless of the pros or cons to the interest only mortgage,
and regardless of the original intent, many of the consumers
securing these interest only mortgages are doing so in order to
lower monthly payments, to buy more house for less money, and even
to divert income to tax-deferred savings. Some will be successful
some will simply wind up paying on their home for most of their
life.
