Interest-only mortgages make sense in Holtville when you have predictable income growth or plan to refinance before the recast. At the $325,000 median price, the lower initial payment can free up cash for other goals.
They don't work if you can't comfortably absorb the payment step-up. If your income is flat or declining, a fully amortizing loan is the safer choice.
