Hello,
I hope you can help me, but I think we have a illegal mortgage on my home in florida. Is it possible to have a 1 year balloon mortgage? we closed on our property on 3/3/06 and we\'re supposed to pay the full balance by 3/3/07, is this legal? Some sources are telling me that law have changed and balloon mortgages are to be around 5 years not 1 year.
Thank you,

Hello, when you say "company profile" meaning lender? We are under "seller financed" we pay our mortgage payment to previous owner holding mortgage. I don't know what my rights are and not sure the 1 yr balloon is legal.
Hi Donna,
I guess Fraser wanted to know if you have checked the lender's background before opting for the 1 year balloon mortgage. Anyway, you should go through the mortgage note and the disclosures that your seller has provided you. All the terms and conditions of your loan will be stated there.
Regarding your rights as a borrower, you may go through http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/res/respa_hm.cfm for a better idea.
Thanks,
Sara.

Hi,
Balloon mortgages are short terms loans offered for a minimum of 3 years. The loan offered to you is not illegal provided all terms and conditions in the loan document are legal.
