Interest-Only Investor Loans in Pennsylvania

What Pennsylvania investors should know, with county data and city pages.

Investors in Pennsylvania who use interest-only financing usually do so to give a rental breathing room in the early stretch, whether during renovations, while rents settle or in areas where prices run high relative to rent. The structure lowers the starting payment but leaves the balance untouched, and the later payment is larger. The local data on this page can help you test whether a property can carry both payments.

Common questions

What happens to my payment when the interest-only period ends?

The payment increases to include principal, and because principal is repaid over a shorter remaining term, the increase can be significant. If the rate is adjustable, it can also change on its own schedule. Ask for a written payment schedule that shows the payment during and after the interest-only period, and compare both against the rent you collect today.

Can I get an interest-only loan on a home I will live in?

This page covers investment property only. Interest-only loans on a home you live in are consumer loans with their own rules and protections, and they are covered among other options on a sister site. If you are buying a rental, an interest-only investor loan may be worth comparing with a fully amortizing loan. Never describe a rental as owner-occupied, since misrepresenting occupancy is mortgage fraud.

Should I plan to refinance before the payment resets?

Some investors do, but a refinance depends on future rates, the property's value, your credit and lending rules at that time, and none of those are certain. If you plan to refinance, also check the prepayment penalty terms on the interest-only loan. A safer plan is to make sure the rent and your reserves can carry the full payment even if a refinance is not available.
