Important: Understand Balloon Payments

A balloon payment loan requires a large lump sum payment at the end of the term. While monthly payments are lower, you must have a plan to pay or refinance the balloon amount.

Risk: If you can't pay or refinance the balloon, you could lose your asset (car, home, etc.)

Balloon Payment Strategy

  • Have a plan: Know how you'll pay the balloon before taking the loan
  • Save monthly: Set aside money each month to cover the balloon
  • Plan to refinance: Ensure you'll qualify for refinancing before balloon is due
  • Consider alternatives: Standard loans may be better if you can't handle the balloon
