    Hey guys,

    Is it true that if its an interest only mortgage we need to pay the whole mortgage back after 5 years?
    This is what one of the mortgage broker said (mortgage choice).

    And um… how does 2nd mortgage work? Interest only? or it totally depends on the vendor?

    Interest only loans can vary in length, 10 to 15 years,
    Upon conclusion of the interest only period you may negotiate another Interest only term or refinance with another lender,

    Contact Simon (Mortgage Hunter) he is also in NSW,

    Penguin,

    I think he explained it badly. After 5 years you still owe the whole amount but most lenders then revert the loan to a P&I loan and you pay it back as normal.

    It doesn’t need to be repaid at that time – although you can if you choose!

    Cheers,

    Do you think it possible that you misunderstood what the broker told you ?
