Financing
A borrower obtains a loan on which the interest rate stays fixed and each monthly payment fully repays principal and interest so the balance reaches zero at maturity. This describes a:
- a.Balloon loan
- b.Interest-only loan
- c.Reverse annuity mortgage
- d.Fully amortized fixed-rate loan✓
A fully amortized loan has level payments that cover all interest due and gradually reduce principal, leaving a zero balance at the end of the term. A balloon loan leaves a large lump sum due at maturity, and an interest-only loan does not reduce principal during the interest-only period. The fixed rate means the payment does not change with market rates.
