    Default Interest Only Loans

    Has anyone been noticing the high percentage of interest only loans? Yikes.

    Prime Rate just hit 6.5% so most interest-only HELOC will be at this level or higher.

    I recently read that in some areas one (1) out of three (3) mortgages was an "Interest Only" loan.

    Guess I have a mortgage broker that is good at explaining the risks of IO as most of my clients have been going with fixed mortgages over the last year+-.

    Here is a quote from a Business Week magazine article (May 30, 2005 edition).
    "31 - Percentage of new single-family mortgages that were interest-only during 2004. That is up from 1.5% in 2001".
    That is a lot of mortgages that are interest-only. Eventually there will be some rising payments to make.

    True. But with many of these interest only loans, it will be at the foreclosure sale.
