In a 30 year mortgage, you are essentially \"paying\" (with a higher interest rate) for the right to continue to have that rate during the later years.  This point is obvious if you compare rates of a 7/1 ARM, a 10/1 ARM, and a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.   The rates I see from 1 company are 5.875, 6.25, 6.375.   So, if you are going to move in 5-7 years, a 7/1 ARM will save you a lot of interest.\u003cBR/\u003e\u003cBR/\u003eOn the other hand, the dynamics of an investment property are different.  A 15 year mortgage might be too risky since you likely have to fork out money each month on it on top of the rent.  I would get a nice long mortgage (30 year, 40 year) on an investment property as it is a better financial move to keep an investment property for a long time (rather than turning over every 10 years)\u003cBR/\u003e\u003cBR/\u003eOne could say the same of your residential mortgage, but I find it too tempting to make a move in 5 years or so.
