Default What is an "interest only" mortgage I keep hearing about?

I mean it sounds like you only pay interest, but what does that mean?

That's right, you only pay interest in your monthly payment. So your monthly payment is less because you're not also paying down your principal. The downside is that you're not paying off your loan at all.
