More or less, if your loan is interest only payments and doesn't have construction draws involved. Your monthly payment on an interest only loan will just be the interest. Your lender might give you terms based on your credit and your experience. The more experienced you are with deals under your belt, the better terms you'll get. Hard money terms can be all over the place.
