What is a Balloon Payment?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney clarifies a Balloon Payment...
A balloon payment is an agreed upon payment sometime in the future for a lump sum of money. This lump sum is usually payable following a certain time period agreed upon between the lender and borrower. In real estate, a balloon payment mortgage is mostly used in commercial mortgage, but can be seen in residential mortgages as well. A balloon payment will usually occur when a mortgage does not fully amortize during the life of the mortgage, thus a balloon payment is due on the last day of the mortgage. As frustrating and unfair as it may be, the inability to pay the balloon payment at the end of the life of the mortgage will result in a default.
