An interest-only mortgage allows the borrower to pay only the interest portion of the loan for a set period, typically ranging from five to ten years, after which payments increase to include principal repayment. For Canadian real estate investors, this structure maximizes cash flow during the interest-only period, freeing up capital for other investments or property improvements, though it means no equity is built through payments until the principal repayment phase begins.
