Question 1

What credit score do I need for an interest-only loan in Montclair?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders want 700 or higher. Some non-QM lenders go lower, but expect a higher rate.

Question 2

How long is the interest-only period?

Accepted Answer

Typically 5 to 10 years. After that, your payment jumps as you start repaying principal.

Not during the IO period. Equity only builds if the property appreciates or you make extra principal payments.
