Graduated Payment Mortgage Loans

The graduated payment mortgage loan, or GPM, is a type of mortgage loan in which the initial monthly payments are low, but increase slowly over the term of the loan. These loans are very similar to the most traditional mortgage loans, except that the cost to the borrower scales over time, meaning that they are more expensive on the back end. Despite this potential problem, GPMs may be particularly beneficial to younger borrowers.

The Benefits of a GPM

The primary benefit (and the potential danger) of a graduated payment loan is that most of the costs are paid towards the end of the term of the loan. This allows younger borrowers with less income to take out loans on homes that they will be able to afford when they are older and are earning higher salaries.

However, because it can be hard to predict earning potential, especially with market fluctuations, people who take out graduated payment loans may be committed to paying loans they are unable to afford.
