Loan With Balloon Payment
A common transaction is a loan with a balloon payment. In this case, the
borrower makes a fixed payment each period until the end of the loan term. At
the end of the term, the borrower makes one large final payment. The example
below illustrates a $400,000 loan, at 6% annual interest paid monthly for 30
years with a balloon payment of $70,000.
