I agree, we use an interest only LoC on our primary residence as well for this reason; I might want to get money out to invest rather than simply pay it down. With interest only I have the option. Pay interest only and use that money elsewhere that will grow faster than I can pay down my mortgage, or pay more than interest only if I want to make it more like a traditional PI payment.
