Norm,

I am not sure how you got your figures but this is the way I see it is;

Sales price = 150,000

10% down = 15,000

Amount financed = 135,000

Principal and interest payment at 9%= 1,086.24 per month amortized over 30 years.

Ballon principal amount due in 60 months = 129,552.83

The total amount of pricipal paid = 5,447.17

The total amount of interest paid = 59,727.23

I did this quickly but I think it is pretty close.

I’d like to hear from anyone who has participated in a balloon payment type financing deal.

For example, if I worked out an owner-financed contract for $150,000 purchase price:
10% down = $15,000
Balance plus 9% interest = $147,150
Amortized for 30 years = $408.75 per month
Balance (Balloon payment due in 5 years) = $122,625

Is this right? I would owe the owner that much out of pocket in 5 years???
