Balloon Mortgage and Balloon Payment

Balloon Mortgage and Balloon Payment

Balloon Mortgage and Balloon Payment are two terms that used very often to describe mortgages. Here are the definitions of these two words.

Balloon Mortgage: A mortgage with monthly payments often based on a 30-year amortization schedule, with the unpaid balance due in a lump sum payment at the end of a specific period of time (usually 5 or 7 years). The mortgage may contain an option to “reset” the interest rate to the current market rate and to extend the due date if certain conditions are met.
Balloon Payment: A final lump sum payment that is due, often at the maturity date of a balloon mortgage.
