The 5/1 fixed/adjustable interest-only version.

Very low apr first 5 years, interest only, then you start digging into principal. Idea being that you'll move in the first 5 years and 'reap the increased value of the property'. Lower monthly payments than the old, boring, passe 30 year fixed interest-only... :P

Looks like the mortgage folks will just keep coming up with cheaper and cheaper alternatives for people to dig themselves into overpriced property...
