Balloon mortgage
A balloon mortgage is a short-term and fixed-rate mortgage that doesn't fully amortize over the loan term. The term of the loan is typically 5 or 7 years, and the interest is usually quite a bit lower than most loans. The buyer makes relatively small payments over the 5 or 7 year loan period, however, the final payment consists of the entire balance of the loan and is due at the end of the term. Since this final payment is substantial, it is called a balloon payment.
