FULL-TERM, BALLOON, AND HYRBID

Loans can be structured as full-term, balloon, and hybrid. Full-term loans amortize over the life of the loan, and are paid in full upon loan maturity. Balloon mortgages are fixed-rate loans with a balloon payment due at the end of the initial term. Hybrid loans have a fixed-rate for the initial fixed term, then adjust annually or semi-annually through the remaining loan term. For example, a 10-year fixed hybrid mortgage is fixed for the initial 10-years, then adjusts annually or semiannually through the remaining 30-years. A 10-year fixed balloon mortgage is fixed for the initial 10-years, with the loan balance due in full at the end of the 10-year period. A 30-year fixed mortgage is fixed for the entire 30-years, paid in full at loan maturity.

Full-Term: Higher rate providing the most security. Loan is fixed for the entire loan term.

Balloon: Lower rate than a full-term loan. Property must be refinanced or sold by the end of the term.

Hybrid: Lower rate than a full-term loan. Borrower has the benefit of a low fixed-rate loan during the initial term, can ride the adjusting rate after the initial fixed-term through loan maturity, or sell/refinance.
