A balloon home equity loan usually has a fixed interest rate (one that doesn't change overthe term of the loan). The loan term is shorter than would be required to repay the loan in full at maturity meaning that a balance must be paid in one lump sum payment, (the balloon payment). For example, to completely repay a loan monthly payments might be required over 30 years, but the loan might have a balloon maturity of 5 years, at which tie the entire balance will be due.

Purpose — Allows the user to designate whether the amount entered as the balloon is the final payment (subject to rounding) or whether the balloon entered would be the final balance after making the regular payment (i.e. the final payment is the amount entered for the balloon plus the regular payment amount). If the flag same_final_pmt is set to 1 or 2 and balloon_flag = 1, no rounding occurs on the balloon.
