Deferred Interest Mortgage ExplanationDeferred Interest Mortgage products are available from several lenders. I am so confident in this product, I have converted my home and investment property to a deferred interest mortgage. These can be complex products and I have been asked many times for a concise deferred interest mortgage explanation An issue for many homeowners is managing monthly income and expenses, or "cash flow". Income varies for many reasons and unplanned expenses come up when least expected. For man our mortgage payment is our largest monthly expense, and also the least flexible. The deferred interest mortgage was designed to give you control over your mortgage payment. You can choose one of four payment options monthly based on your specific cash flow needs. Minimum Payment A payment is set for 12 or 60 months at a reduced rate. The minimum payment rate for the 12 month option is 1.00%, and the 60 month option is 1.90%. This maximizes cash flow but may also defer payment of interest on your mortgage allowing flexibility in managing your tax deductions. This minimum payment can not increase by more than 7.5% each year. Read more about the important tax considerations of a deferred interest mortgage. If you have concerns over deferred interest, read more about the small amount of appreciation required to offset it. Interest Only Payment Defer paying principal on your loan and improve your monthly cash flow. This is not available if the interest only payment is less than the minimum payment. Fully Amortizing Payment Options You have the ability to make a full payment based on either a 30 year or 15 year payment schedule. I have included a deferred interest mortgage statement as well. The deferred interest mortgage allows you to choose your index from the 1 month LIBOR or the MTA . Here is a 10 year average comparison between a 30 year fixed and fully indexed LIBOR, MTA, COFI, and the 1 year Treasury Index in chart form. Additional Options If you want the security of a fixed payment while taking advantage of the extremely low payment rates, there is a 5 year fixed payment option. With the 5 year Fixed Payment option, you have a fixed minimum payment for five years. You may increase the term of your option arm from 30 to 40 years lowering your payment further. LTVs are available up to 100% ! The Minimum Payment Advantage The example is based on a $400,000 mortgage. It compares a 30 year fixed rate payment based on the 10 year average to the minimum payment available on the Option ARM again based on the 10 year average. Assumes that the Minimum Payment increases by the maximum 7.5% per year. 30 Fixed Cash Flow Minimum Monthly Savings Annual Savings Year 1
