Balloon Mortgage
A Balloon Mortgage is usually a short-term fixed-rate loan which involves small payments for a certain period of time and one large payment for the remaining amount of the principal at a contractually specified time. Many people elect to get a balloon mortgage who have the intention of refinancing at a later date.
