Balloon Note

A Balloon Note, is a loan advanced between a lender and a borrower. Where, the borrower consents to settle their debt with a single lump-sum payment at maturation.

After acknowledging a Balloon Note, It is of significant importance that the borrower additionally plans for the unavoidable, inflatable installment they will be faced with.

This is commonly referred to in the banking world as, refinancing. The borrower is subsequently financed with another Balloon Note which will lengthen their reimbursement period, maybe adding another 4 to 6 years. Or, they may refinance their property (or any other venture which they claim) into a 15-or 30-year loan where the lender is to take the borrower's property in the occasion the borrower can't satisfy their commitment.

Balloon Note

A long-term loan, often a mortgage, that has one large payment (the balloon payment) due upon maturity. A balloon note will often have the advantage of very low interest payments, thus requiring very little capital outlay during the life of the loan. Since most of the repayment is deferred until the end of the payment period, the borrower has substantial flexibility to utilize the available capital during the life of the loan. The major problem with such a loan is that the borrower needs to be self-disciplined in preparing for the large single payment, since interim payments are not being made.

Balloon notes are often undertaken when refinancing or when a major cash flow event is anticipated. also called bullet loan or balloon loan.
