5-Year Balloon Option
If you plan on selling your home in five years or less, and need a lower monthly
payment, this option may be for you. This balloon home equity option has fixed
monthly payments for five years, and a lump sum or "balloon" payment due to
complete the payoff of the loan. Because the loan is amortized over 20 years, the
monthly payments tend to be lower than other types of home equity plans.
This is also a good plan if you have a 5-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage on your home
because in five years, both your mortgage and your home equity will come due and
can be refinanced at the same time.
Please note MCU Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit are only available to Illinois homeowners.
