How do “Refinance” companies make profit on equity “interest only” loans?
Posted on October 23rd, 2009 3 commentsMichael K asked:
Last year, I was compelled to agree to an interest only equity home loan. I paid cash for my home 2 years prior, and owned the home without mortgage of any type. Now, I am paying off an “interest only” loan payment for 30 or more years, with out even touching any of the principle.
I have been getting dozens of calls from “RE-FI” who are dying to jump on board, but for the life of me, can’t see where they make the money on such a poor loan structure.
I have no income but a small investment dividend, coming to an end and lots of equity in property, both personal and real.
ReFi companies offer me lower monthly payments and other services to get me on board. Are they just happy to take on the interest only account? Or, is there something else I don’t know about.

Should I stay away from a second mortgage interest only loan?
Posted on May 2nd, 2009 8 commentsdwanal asked:
I’ve been approved for a 1st mortgage at a fixed rate of 7.38 and a 2n mortgage interest only at 10.425. This loan is for an investment property. I’ve been told that the 2nd loan is Home equity line of credit. How much will my payments go up on the 2nd mortgage and should I look for another loan. Thank You.
