Have you come across any data about the use of these LIBOR rate loans? Very steady increase in costs registered, and I believe there are 2-2 1/2% margins applied, and often monthly, so doing some math: 1.75% early this year plus 2.0%= 3.75%, now 2.90%

+ 2%=4.90%, viola a 30% higher payment. I came across a lady who is using one of these "interest only" to purchase and remodel a $ one million home in Portland. This might be a hot potato before long? See six month:
