Description
A Balloon Note is a Promissory Note that has one large payment (the balloon payment) that is due upon maturity. A balloon note will often have the advantage of a very low interest rate, thus requiring little capital outlay during the life of the loan. The major problem with such a loan is that the borrower needs to be self-disciplined in preparing for the large balloon payment due when the loan matures. Of course refinancing the note upon maturity is always a possibility.

FAQ
The downside of balloon payments Although a balloon-payment option can make your monthly payments more affordable, you're taking on extra debt to buy an asset that is depreciating – the value of your vehicle may end up less than the amount still owed.
Cons There's more risk you'll default. It's harder to get refinancing. If you're only paying interest, you're not building home equity.
The most significant risk of a balloon mortgage is foreclosure if the borrower can't make the balloon payment at the end of the term. Foreclosure can result in the loss of the home, emotional distress, and impact the borrower's credit negatively, generally for seven years.
