Balloon Payment Mortgages
Traditional loan where interest is paid until a time when
the principal is due.
Terms can be 3, 5 or 7 years.
Interest is based on15- or 30-year period so payments
are no different than in an FRM of equal maturity.
Rate is fixed over the contract term.
Popular with borrowers who may either sell or
refinance prior to maturity.
Rollover Mortgage (ROMs)
Refinanced at new rate every few years.
Adjustment period is longer than traditional ARMs.
Construction-to-Permanent Mortgages
Bridge financing is provided by lender over the
time frame required by the borrower to
purchase land and construct the house.
Only interest payment is made until
construction is completed.
Loan is financed in increments as construction
payments have to be made.
On completion of the construction, loan balance
is rolled over into the type of mortgage contract
desired by borrower.
