What’s the difference between Interest Only and Principal & Interest?
The difference between an interest-only and principal and interest loan depends on what the repayments go towards. Interest-only loans involve initially repaying only the interest on the loan amount. This is different to other standard home loans where repayments cover both interest and principal from the start of the loan.
What is the benefit of an Interest Only home loan?
Arguably, the biggest benefit of an interest-only loan is that the repayments are lower during the interest-only repayment period. This is helpful when you need extra cash-flow for a short period of time, and is also a popular option amongst investors.
