This is very sad! I think interest only loans are terrible unless you only need the loan for a very short time period (months...not years).

So many people get mortgages on the mortgage company's terms because they have no options, no choice. I don't think they really care if people can pay the mortgage or not.

The thing that everyone with a mortgage should do it to pay extra principal payments at the beginning of the mortgage...just as much as they can.

I tried to talk my son out of buying his house because he was young with weak credit. He wound up with a higher interest rate and may be able to break even after three years. He was too impatient.
