>>What is the difference between an interest only loan and renting?<<

In my case (I rent) about $1,400 a month. That is one reason many see this as a bubble. But I think it is a credit bubble as opposed to a housing bubble. As loans reset, even those who don't lose their homes are going to have an impact on our economy as the money they use to make the higher payments is not used to buy stuff.

I can see an interest only loan if the property value is expected to rise, but I would rather gamble my money elsewhere.

Who gets the extra money the borrower pays? The bank. What does the bank do with it?

Yeah, if only those darn bankers would quit burying the money in Mason jars as soon as it comes in and start, oh, maybe investing it....
