What’s a balloon loan?
A balloon loan is unique in a few different ways. With the more common fixed payment loan, you only have one term. A balloon loan has 2 terms, the amortization and the balloon term. The payment is calculated on the amortization term and the due date is calculated on the balloon term. At Deseret First, we offer a 6-year term with either 15 or 30-year amortization. Once the initial term is up, your remaining “balloon payment” is due. It’s like getting you the best of both worlds! Lower monthly payments and shorter terms.
