Frequently asked questions

How does a balloon payment work?

Payments are based on a long amortization, but the loan ends early with the remaining balance due as a lump sum. A $300,000 loan at 6.5% amortized over 30 years leaves about $271,249 due after 7 years.

Why choose a balloon loan?

The long amortization keeps monthly payments low, which can suit short holding periods. The catch is the large balloon, which usually has to be refinanced or paid off.
