Convertible Balloon Mortgage Calculator
Definition:
Balloon Mortgages. A balloon mortgage has a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly payment, but after a fixed period of time, such as 5 years, the entire balance of the loan becomes due at once. As a practical matter, the homeowner is unlikely to have enough cash to pay off the entire loan balance after 5 years, in which case a new mortgage would have to be arranged. If a mortgage can not be arranged, the homeownder is liable for the balance and may lose the house. Balloon mortgages are usually a last resort for those who can’t qualify for a standard fixed or adjustable rate mortgage.
