Our loan was for 5 years. That time is almost up but we will still owe approx. 66,000.00 as a balloon payment. Cannot find any information on what we can do now. All I can find is that you can refinance it through your existing company. We have done this twice before over the past 10 years. However, this time we have had a severe drop in our credit score. Our estimated property value is at least 3 times what we need to borrow in order to pay off this 66,000.00 balloon payment. would like it to be a regular mortgage, or whatever, so that at the end of the term, we wont owe anything.I guess I am wondering if my current bank is obligated to refinance it or would I be forced to find another company who finances couples with poor credit. We have been with this same bank for 15 years. The last time we refinanced the equity loan, when our credit was good, I asked the banker to set it up so that we wouldnt owe so much at the end of it. I guess he thought that 66,000.00 wasnt SO MUCH. Is any company out there helping couples in our situation .

Interest Rates Have Nowhere to Go but Up Buzz up! 191 Print On Sunday April 11, 2010, 1:00 pm EDT Even as prospects for the American economy brighten, consumers are about to face a new financial burden: a sustained period of rising interest rates. That, economists say, is the inevitable outcome of the nation’s ballooning debt and the renewed prospect of inflation as the economy recovers from the depths of the recent recession. The shift is sure to come as a shock to consumers whose spending habits were shaped by a historic 30-year decline in the cost of borrowing. “Americans have assumed the roller coaster goes one way,” said Bill Gross, whose investment firm, Pimco, has taken part in a broad sell-off of government debt, which has pushed up interest rates. “It’s been a great thrill as rates descended, but now we face an extended climb.” The impact of higher rates is likely to be felt first in the housing market, which has only recently begun to rebound from a deep slump. The rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage has risen half a point since December, hitting 5.31 last week, the highest level since last summer. Along with the sell-off in bonds, the Federal Reserve has halted its emergency $1.25 trillion program to buy mortgage debt, placing even more upward pressure on rates. “Mortgage rates are unlikely to go lower than they are now, and if they go higher, we’re likely to see a reversal of the gains in the housing market,” said Christopher J. Mayer, a professor of finance and economics at Columbia Business School. “It’s a really big risk.” Each increase of 1 percentage point in rates adds as much as 19 percent to the total cost of a home, according to Mr. Mayer. The Mortgage Bankers Association expects the rise to continue, with the 30-year mortgage rate going to 5.5 percent by late summer and as high as 6 percent by the end of the year. Another area in which higher rates are likely to affect consumers is credit card use. And last week, the Federal Reserve reported that the average interest rate on credit cards reached 14.26 percent in February, the highest since 2001. That is up from 12.03 percent when rates bottomed in the fourth quarter of 2008 — a jump that amounts to about $200 a year in additional interest payments for the typical American household. With losses from credit card defaults rising and with capital to back credit cards harder to come by, issuers are likely to increase rates to 16 or 17 percent by the fall, according to Dennis Moroney, a research director at the TowerGroup, a financial research company. “The banks don’t have a lot of pricing options,” Mr. Moroney said. “They’re targeting people who carry a balance from month to month.” Similarly, many car loans have already become significantly more expensive, with rates at auto finance companies rising to 4.72 percent in February from 3.26 percent in December, according to the Federal Reserve. Washington, too, is expecting to have to pay more to borrow the money it needs for programs. The Office of Management and Budget expects the rate on the benchmark 10-year United States Treasury note to remain close to 3.9 percent for the rest of the year, but then rise to 4.5 percent in 2011 and 5 percent in 2012. The run-up in rates is quickening as investors steer more of their money away from bonds and as Washington unplugs the economic life support programs that kept rates low through the financial crisis. Mortgage rates and car loans are linked to the yield on long-term bonds. Besides the inflation fears set off by the strengthening economy, Mr. Gross said he was also wary of Treasury bonds because he feared the burgeoning supply of new debt issued to finance the government’s huge budget deficits would overwhelm demand, driving interest rates higher. Nine months ago, United States government debt accounted for half of the assets in Mr. Gross’s flagship fund, Pimco Total Return. That has shrunk to 30 percent now — the lowest ever in the fund’s 23-year history — as Mr. Gross has sold American bonds in favor of debt from Europe, particularly Germany, as well as from developing countries like Brazil. Last week, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note briefly crossed the psychologically important threshold of 4 percent, as the Treasury auctioned off $82 billion in new debt. That is nearly twice as much as the government paid in the fall of 2008, when investors sought out ultrasafe assets like Treasury securities after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the beginning of the credit crisis. Though still very low by historical standards, the rise of bond yields since then is reversing a decline that began in 1981, when 10-year note yields reached nearly 16 percent. From that peak, steadily dropping interest rates have fed a three-decade lending boom, during which American consumers borrowed more and more but managed to hold down the portion of their income devoted to payin

If you could help with any of these questions it would be an amazing help!!! 7.4 A small industrial contractor purchased a warehouse building for $100,000. The contractor made an agreement with the seller to finance the purchase over a 5-year period. The agreement stated that monthly payments would be made based on a 30-yr amortization, but the balance owed at the end of year 5 would be paid in a lump sum balloon payment. What is the size of the balloon payment if the interest rate on the loan was 6% per year, compounded monthly? 7.6 The Camino Real Landfill was required to install a plastic liner to prevent leachate from migrating into the groundwater. The fill area was 50,000 sq meters and the installed liner cost was $8 per sq meter.

I posted this before but I wanted to add some more info and detail..... I went to a university in Michigan over 10 years ago(1998) and never finished. I have gotten a degree since then from another school, but that is another story. I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2000 and included this "loan" in the bankruptcy which because this loan was not backed by a bank nor was it a Stafford or any other type of federal government backed loan. It was like a deferment payment plan you would pay every month to the school during the semester with interest. Anyways I dropped the classes and received a credit, yet somehow I ended up owing $400 or so which now they have ballooned to over $500 with interest. Well it went to collections and eventually I just included it in my bankruptcy and so now 10 years have gone by and all of a sudden I am getting a notice from the school again contacting me about this "loan". I sent them a simple email explaining that this was bankrupted back in 2000 after they sent it to a collection agency and that their records were incorrect and need to be updated. This is their reply regarding my email to them: "Your debt with _____ university is for a tuition loan and is an educational benefit, (I have a promissory note, signed by you) and is exempt from discharge. I sent a letter to you in July of 2001 explaining this. I have a copy of the bankruptcy filing and a copy of the discharge which states student loans are exempt. Also, we are a state chartered university and there is no statute of limitations on what you owe." Although it does not state anywhere on this promissory note that it is unable to discharge nor was it acknowledge to me that it was a loan, it was a payment plan that I paid within the semester. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I do not owe this debt and never have, but because of an error in their billing when I got a refund, they did not give me the whole refund and I lose because I was a kid and did not know what was going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Also I am in another state if that helps where wages cannot be garnished either.This is not a Perkins loan nor Stafford loan. It is a payment plan with interest offered by this university. They are claiming because it is a government institution that it is a debt that cannot be discharge. Also I am in school currently as I am getting my bachelor's degree... Can this debt be deferred because I am in school currently like many federal loans? Please advise on this.

I have questions about this article. This article is very long but i need help with these question, Please Help me?????? 1)Main idea of the article 2)Supporting Details 3)5 discussion questions Post-Olympics, spotlight falls on housing dilemma Some say the posh athletes' village should be partially used for lower-income dwellers, but others say that makes no economic sense. Olympians in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Games loved staying in the athletes' village. Big surprise. Their rooms will soon be retrofitted, and, in some cases, sold for millions of dollars. Another athletes' village as nice as the one Vancouver built is unlikely in the next 100 years. But as soon as the Paralympics conclude later this month, attention will once again focus on the economics of the development and how much of the nearly $1-billion that Vancouver taxpayers spent to bail out the project they are likely to get back. One of the more contentious aspects of that discussion is certain to involve the status and future of the 252 units of social housing to which the city had committed itself. It is a promise now likely to be broken. The final decision will have wide-ranging political implications for the governing Vision Vancouver party and its leader, Mayor Gregor Robertson. On one side are those who say the social housing is too expensive and would be better built, far cheaper, somewhere else. On the other are those who believe the city has a moral imperative to honour its obligation to make room for the poor in all big real estate developments. That group includes Jim Green, the legendary community development consultant. If Vision backs away from the social housing, he warned yesterday, "it will be a complete disaster for the party and the city. This income mix in real estate developments is key to the future of Vancouver." Perhaps. But Vision also must weigh the risks of going ahead with a plan that would come at an enormous cost to taxpayers. The social housing component of the project was supposed to cost about $65-million. It ballooned to $110-million. The worst cost overruns of the Olympic Village construction involved the three parcels of units set aside for social housing. Meantime, estimates show it would cost an additional $55-million to $75-million to subsidize the housing (keeping rents far below market value) over a period of 30 years or so, as originally planned. It would arguably be the most expensive social housing anywhere in the world. Complicating the issue is the fact the city could still end up losing $100-million or more from its stake in the project. You may recall that the city had to bail out the developer to the tune of about $900-million after the original lender, Fortress Investment Group, decided to bail because of nervousness about overruns. Now, given the bounce-back in the economy and the positive exposure the Olympic Village received during the Games, there is a much stronger likelihood Millennium Development will be able to repay all of its building loan. But that still leaves $170-million that it owes the city for the land upon which the project is built. It's entirely possible the city will not get that back. This creates a problem, because it was counting on that money to pay for the $160-million it spent on other infrastructure investments related to the project, such as soil remediation, a civic centre, a plaza and other improvements. Even if the city were to get half the money back, that still amounts to an $87-million loss, which makes it that much harder to justify spending possibly $180-million for 252 units of social housing. This is why council will be presented later this month with a range of options. The one being favoured at the moment is for the 252 units to be rented out, at rates slightly under market, possibly for seven to 10 years. At the end of that time, a decision would be made as to what portion to convert to social housing while selling the rest as condos at market value. The money saved by going this route would be used to build more social housing on another site at a much more cost-effective rate. Advocates like Mr. Green will not be thrilled with this solution. Mr. Green rejects any plan perceived as concentrating low-income people in one area, creating what he calls "massive ghettos." I don't think that's what the city has in mind; nonetheless, that is a sentiment it would face if it takes this option. Whatever happens, it seems certain now that the Olympic Village won't have 252 units of social housing. Any decision needs to be made soon. The units become available in April and nothing would be worse than having them sit empty - with potential dollars flying out their windows - while council dithers. This will be the biggest, most controversial decision this Vision government will make, the fallout from which may be felt into the next election. Please help me???

New Obama plans: 'spend our way out' of downturn By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer Philip Elliott, Associated Press Writer 2 mins ago WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama outlined new multibillion-dollar stimulus and jobs proposals Tuesday, saying the nation must continue to "spend our way out of this recession" until more Americans are back at work. Without giving a price tag, Obama proposed a package of new spending for highway, bridge and other infrastructure projects, deeper tax breaks for small businesses and tax incentives to encourage people to make their homes more energy efficient. "We avoided the depression many feared," Obama said in a speech at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. But, he added, "Our work is far from done." For the third time in a week, Obama sought to focus on job creation, noting that the unemployment rate was still at 10 percent in November, though down slightly from its 10.2 percent peak. He said "a staggering" 7 million Americans have lost jobs since the recession began two years ago. While his proposal did not include the kind of direct federal public works jobs that were created in the 1930s, he said government could set the stage for more job creation by private businesses. A major part of his package is new incentives for small businesses, which account for two-thirds of the nation's work force. He proposed a new tax cut for small businesses that hire in 2010 and an elimination for one year of the capital gains tax on profits from small-business investments. Obama also proposed an elimination of fees on loans to small businesses, coupled with federal guarantees of those loans through the end of next year. He called for more government spending on infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges and water projects and for new tax breaks for consumers who invest in energy-efficient retrofits in their homes. This could be what some administration officials have called a "Cash for Caulkers" program modeled on the now-expired Cash for Clunkers program of tax rebates for people who turned in old cars for more fuel-efficient models. The administration also is eyeing ways to get money still not spent in the $787 billion stimulus bill passed last winter into projects more quickly. Obama did not characterize his new proposals as another stimulus program like that mammoth measure, but Republican critics have called it just that and have said it will increase a federal deficit that is already at a record level. Obama included sharp criticism for Republicans in his speech, accusing them of opposing economic stimulus efforts and his health care overhaul while supporting tax cuts and spending that have ballooned the deficit. He said that soon after taking office, he and congressional Democrats took "a series of difficult steps" to try to stabilize the financial system and pull the economy out of a deep recession. "And we were forced to take those steps largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided over the decision-making that led to the crisis, decided to hand it to others to solve." Obama did not say how much his proposals would cost, although congressional Democrats are eyeing a $70 billion package to help create jobs and to provide aid to hard-pressed state and local governments. Administration aides suggested that the part of the package dealing with roads, bridges and other infrastructure could total about $50 billion. While acknowledging increasing concerns in Congress and among the public over the nation's growing debt, Obama said critics present a "false choice" between paying down deficits and investing in job creation and economic growth. To pay for the new programs, the administration is citing the Treasury Department's report on Monday that it expects to get back $200 billion in taxpayer-approved bank bailout funds faster than expected. Obama suggested this windfall would both help the government spend money on job creation while also paying down the nation's debt, which now totals $12 trillion. Obama called the bank bailout, under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), "galling." "There has rarely been a less loved — or more necessary — emergency program," Obama said. The program is expected to go out of business at the end of this year unless extended by Congress. Since the program is costing taxpayers at least $200 billion less than expected, Obama said, "This gives us a chance to pay down the deficit faster than we thought possible and to shift funds that would have gone to help the banks on Wall Street to help create jobs on Main Street." But Republicans continued to insist that the leftover and repaid TARP money must be used exclusively for deficit reduction and not for a new jobs program. "The president's announcement is further proof that TARP has morphed from an emergency injection of liquidity to thaw frozen credit markets i

I've been looking into investing in multi-family/commercial real estate near Cincinnati. I was talking to an old friend of mine about the possibility of no-money-down purchases. He said one deal he has been successful with in the past is where the purchase contract stipulates that you pay a 10% balloon payment due in 2 years, and that serves as the down payment. Have you seen anything similar to this? It seems pretty hard to manage unless you have a young desperate seller. However I would like to know if such easy transactions exist for investors with little to no capital.

I am purchasing a home, owner financed for 10 years, with a balloon payment. I will then need to get a federally backed loan (bank loan). What do you think interest rates will be in 10 years? I will have paid down the house so shouldn't need 10% or 20% down.

my friend has a loan for 400k and a 4% interest only loan for 10 years with a balloon payment at the end of the ten years. his payment is around $2000 with tax and hoa which is affordable. but he is 3 years in this interest only loan that is now upside down by about 150k probably more. he put 50k down when he bought the home and does have some skin in the game. he wants to get a loan mod and he seem to think he will be able to get one with a 40 year payback and keep his 4% rate. what are the best options for someone in this situation he has a low rate that is affordable and is very close to the cost of renting a place but when the ten years are up if homes don't come back in price significantly he will just loose the home because he will not be able to refinance, so basic he needs to address it today. what will the bank likely do? he is not in default or anything, again the payment is not a problem just the end result might me sour if he owes more than it is worth and he can't maintain a similar or close payment **note this is in California

my second mortgage is a 15 year conv. 2nd balloon at 8.6% 53k i owe 290k on my 1st loan at 5.75%(30 year) i dont think i will remain in the house more then 10 years, so i dont think its worth to refinance both loans together and if i did my ltv will be too high. my house would appraise for around 380k and thats about what i would refinance for. my bank (countrywide) doesn't refinance 2nd loans anymore so they say. any suggestions?i still owe 27 years on both loans.

I am 24 years old. I weigh almost 16 stone. I have been fat all my life (although my friend say i wasnt in school, but i think i was). I am a student studying accounting. I have found a clinic in Belgium that does gastric balloons for £1750. I get my next round of student loan in April and would use £750 of this to pay for it. I would get a loan of £1000 for the rest of it and pay it back at £55 per month. I have been paying £70 per month tax on my job in error and am due this back. And it also means that when I am put on the right tax code if i get the loan i will still be £15 per month better off than I was. I know that you can only keep it in for 6 months. But i read that the average weight loss is 36%. That would bring me down to just over 10 stone. Which I think would make me the happist I had ever been. I dont want to get to 40 and regret ot doing it. I have 6 years left of my 20's and i just want to enjoy them and feel good about myself. What do you think?Sorry I got the loan amount wrong, I would pay back £30 per month on the loan.

I think that my husband and I are victims of predatory lending. Here are the details. We have a balloon loan for one year with 8.1% interest. The house was appraised for $10,000 more than our loan. The bank who financed us let us use our vehicles as collateral, one was wrecked, so it has been released, but now they are holding on to my 1997 mini van, unless we pay them $3,700 which they claim is the decrease that the market has taken and has reduced our equity in our home. When we went to resign the yearly loan in December, we asked if we could get the interest reduced, they said no. We asked if we could refinance, they said they do not do refinancing and directed us to their main office who would contact Countrywide for us. Last night we received a letter that said since we didn't pay our property taxes in October, they had paid it and now that has raised our house payment. We have been having some financial trouble and were planning on paying the taxes with our income tax return. We are current on our loan but do have two 30 day late dings on the loan. So, what do we do? Contact a lawyer? How do you negotiate with something like this?? Thanks!
