INTEREST-ONLY MORTGAGE
A mortgage in which the borrower is only obliged to pay off the interest that emerges from the principal borrowed. Because only the interest is being settled, the interest payments is still constant throughout the mortgage term. But these loans do not last indefinitely, which means the borrower has to settle the principal of the loan eventually.
