Hi, I am new to RE investing and doing my due diligence and learning loads. What do you think of interest only loans? Which do you prefer, interest only or repayment?

@Joann Lim

It really depends on your business plan for the property. Many loans with Fannie Mae are interest only for 2 years and then you start paying principal and this gives you some breathing room during the value-add process. Many fix and flip loans are interest only as well.
