Default Re: Interest Only Mortgage Question

I couldn't agree more about the "interest only" offers out there. It seems to me that these popped up once the interest rates began to climb.

One of the largest disadvantages that I see is that by paying only interest you build no equity in the property.

I see way too many people mortgaging more house than they can truly afford and so many houses in my development (only 4 yrs old) are in foreclosure.

Owning a home is a wonderful investment ... but where's the investment if you're only paying off the interest?
