Loans and the things to learn
Non amortizing loans have a fee schedule that covers only the interest, or sometimes not even the entirety of the accrued interest. After a grace period (which may be most of the term of the loan), the size of the payments increase, and the person who took out the loan pays off the rest of the mortgage at a rapid pace or in a single "balloon" payment. Amortizing loans are the traditional type of home mortgage, and are the best option for homeowners who want to keep their homes for a long period without refinancing. Non amortizing loans are the home mortgage of choice for people who plan to own their home for only a short period of time, then sell it off before the grace period ends and the monthly payments become more costly. * Unethical vs.
