What if you can have the security of having a thirty-year fixed loan with an interest only option. The interest only option would reduce the mortgage payment for a particular period of time. The 30 Year Fixed interest only loan is one of the loan programs that just emerged in the mortgage industry. This is an interest only fixed-rate mortgage that is amortized over 30 years and allows borrower to pay interest only for the initial interest-only period of 10 or 15 years. The outstanding principal balance will be re-amortized over the remaining term of the loan after the initial interest-only period. This will likely cause the borrower's monthly payment to increase, since it will now include a payment of principal and interest. Interest only fixed-rate mortgages will fully amortize by the end of a 30-year term. The borrower may make voluntary principal payments during the interest only period, which will trigger the recalculation of the borrower's future monthly payments.
