Interest-only DSCR loans are a specialized type of financing where you only pay the interest on the loan for a specified period, typically the first few years. This results in significantly lower monthly payments compared to a traditional amortizing loan where you pay both principal and interest.
During the interest-only period, your payments only cover the accrued interest on the loan. This means your loan balance remains the same, and you're not building equity during this time. Once the interest-only period ends, your payments will increase to include both principal and interest, amortizing the loan over the remaining term.
