Interest-Only CMBS Loans Increase Cash Flow, But Also Carry Certain Risks

If you decide to take out a full-term interest-only loan, you’ll certainly have less to worry about in the way of monthly payments. However, it’s important to realize that your balloon payment will be significantly larger if the loan doesn’t amortize at all througout its term. In practice, interest-only CMBS loans have a significantly higher default rate than their amortizing cousins, so borrowers should make sure that they’ll be able to make their balloon payments— or plan carefully to refinance the loan when it reaches maturity.
