You are considering to buy a $250,000 property with a 80% LTV ratio and have two mortgage choices: a FRM or a FRM with an IO period. The lender offers the following two loans:
Loan 1: 30 year FRM, fully amortizing monthly payments; 4% interest
Loan 2: 30 year FRM with 4 year IO period, fully amortizing monthly payments; 4.15% interest
Put a yes next to all the true statements:
If I want to save on interest payments, I would choose Loan 2
If I want to minimize the payments in the first few years, I would choose Loan 2
If I'd like to pay off the loan sooner, I'd choose Loan 1
If I want my payments to remain the same for the duration of the loan, I would pick Loan 1
