Interest rate remains fixed for the initial period, such as five years for 5/25 Balloon. The payment is amortized over a 30-year period. At the end of the initial period, the balance is due and payable (loan must be paid or refinanced) or the member may request the “Reset” option. If the loan meets certain conditions, the credit union will adjust the interest rate to .5% over the current fixed rate and re-amortize the remaining balance over the remaining term.
A balloon mortgage is a mortgage that is amortized over the full term of the loan repayment period but at the end of a specified period the balance of the mortgage comes due. Thus, a balloon payment needs to be made. For example, with a 7-year balloon you would make monthly payments for seven years that have been calculated based on a 30-year mortgage payment. At the end of the 7 years, the remaining principal balance would be due and payable in full.

It is a loan payment that expands after a certain term is expired. Sometimes, the lower interest term of the balloon mortgage can run out in as little as five years. You can also get a 10-year balloon mortgage. Basically, this instrument functions similarly to a standard long-term fixed rate mortgage with a delayed spike in payments at the end — hence the term “balloon.” To secure and finance a big balloon mortgage, ask your lender when the balance of the money will be due, and understand the interest rate implications. It might help to compare balloon mortgage financing side by side with standard fixed rate mortgage financing. Many homeowners who sign up for balloon mortgages do so on expectations that they can refinance before the term comes due. These homeowners don’t want to pay full price for their homes, and they expect a bump in income to help them countenance later term balloon payments.
A type of mortgage in which the loan amount is amortized over the full length of the loan (usually 30 yrs), but the loan actually comes due after a few years (usually five or seven). The first payments go mostly towards interest. The balance of the loan is due in one final installment, called the BALLOON PAYMENT.
