A retirement interest-only mortgage (RIO) is a financial product designed for individuals aged 50 and older. Unlike traditional mortgages, RIO mortgages mean you only pay the interest each month, without a fixed repayment term.
There are pros and cons to RIO mortgages, so let's discuss the basics and what you need in order to qualify for one.
